Why do cinder cones short lived?

Cinder cones are typically short-lived because they form from a single eruption event rather than being continually active. The ejected volcanic material from cinder cone eruptions tends to pile up around the vent, creating a steep, conical shape. Once the eruption ceases, without ongoing volcanic activity, the cinder cone becomes dormant and erodes relatively quickly due to its loose, unconsolidated material.
