Tungurahua Volcano, which was declared a Global Geopark by UNESCO in 2025, is situated in which one among the following countries?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Tungurahua ('Throat of Fire' in Quechua) is an active stratovolcano in the Cordillera Oriental of the Andes, located in Ecuador, about 140 km south of Quito. The Tungurahua Volcano and its surrounding landscape were inscribed as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2025, joining Ecuador's earlier Imbabura Geopark. The trap is confusing Andean volcanoes — Cotopaxi and Chimborazo are also Ecuadorian; Misti is in Peru; Sajama in Bolivia; Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia. Tungurahua's last major eruptive cycle ran 1999–2016.
