What is small volcanic cones made entirely of pyroclastic material?

The greatest volume of volcanic material is produced by what?
eruptions along ocean ridges
What type of volcano is build almost entirely from ejected lava fragments?
The type of volcano that is built entirely of ejected lava fragments is a volcanic cone. Volcanic cones can be of varying types, and it depends upon the nature, and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption.
What volcanic type typically produces small steep sided structures composed of pyroclastic material?
The volcanic type that typically produces small steep-sided structures composed of pyroclastic material is a cinder cone. Cinder cones are formed from explosive eruptions that eject particles of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs into the air. These materials fall back to the ground and build up around the vent, forming the characteristic steep slopes of cinder cones.
Why don't flood basalts build volcanic cones?
Flood basalts build volcanic cones because flood basalts are believed to originate when the head of a mantle hotspot first arrives beneath the base of a plate. Because of this, they are unable to build volcanic cones.
