Tungurahua Volcano, which was declared a Global Geopark by UNESCO in 2025, is situated in which one among the following countries?
Explanation
Option A is correct.
The Tungurahua Volcano is an active stratovolcano located in the Cordillera Oriental of the Andes in Ecuador. In April 2025, UNESCO officially designated the Tungurahua Volcano as a Global Geopark, recognizing its exceptional geological heritage and the local community's commitment to sustainable development and conservation.
Known as the "Throat of Fire" in the indigenous Kichwa language, the volcano has a geological history spanning over 417 million years. The geopark's landscape is characterized by deep canyons, glacial features, and mineral-rich thermal springs heated by underground magma. The UNESCO designation also highlights the resilience of local communities, such as those in Baños de Agua Santa, who have adapted to living alongside an active volcano while promoting eco-friendly agriculture, geotourism, and environmental education.
