Nyiragongo is located in the East African Rift region, which is primarily situated on the African tectonic plate. This area is characterized by tectonic activity due to the divergence of the African plate into the Somali and Nubian plates. The rifting process in this region contributes to the volcanic activity observed at Nyiragongo and other nearby volcanoes.
