Panama is located in the heart of Central America. It sits on the border of the Caribbean Plate right along the neighboring border of the Cocos Plate and is located near a subduction zone. A Subduction zone where tectonic plates meet and crash or converge into each other. When this happens, one plate is pushed beneath the other and descends into the earth's mantle. This will turn into magma. As the molten rock moves back up to the surface it forms a volcano.

This volcano is called Volcano Baru. It is located in the Volcano Baru National Park
