In November 1985, a volcanic eruption composed of many layers of lava alternating with hardened volcanic ash and other pyroclastic rocks, producing swift moving currents of hot gas and rock which causes mud and debris flows which threaten human life and the environment, occurred. Its intensity was such that the hot gas was able to melt off mountain snow-caps, and adding large quantities of water to flow. It is located on the border of the departments of Caldas and Tolima in Colombia, about 129 kilometers west of the capital city Bogota. The eruption buried the town of Armero causing 2, 500 deaths. It also caused atmospheric warming, and still poses a threat to nearby towns.

În noiembrie 1985, a avut loc o eruptie vulcanica format din mai multe straturi de lavă alternand cu cenuşă vulcanică călit şi alte roci piroclastice, producerea de curenţi în mişcare rapidă de gaz fierbinte şi rock care provoacă fluxurile de noroi şi resturile care ameninţă viaţa umană şi mediu. Intensitatea acestuia a fost astfel încât gazul cald a fost în măsură să se topească de pe munte zapada-capace, şi adăugarea de cantităţi mari de apă să curgă. Este situat la graniţa dintre departamentele de Caldas şi Tolima în Columbia, aproximativ 129 kilometri vest de capitala Bogota. Eruptia îngropat oraşul Armero cauzează 2, 500 decese. Ea, de asemenea, cauzate de încălzirea atmosferei şi încă reprezintă o ameninţare pentru oraşele din apropiere.
