Do cinder cones erupt felsic or mafic lava?
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
What types of rocks do cinder cone volcanoes form?
They form any kind of igneous rock including pumice, obsidian, and others.
Are cinder cones usually found at the edge of large volcanoes?
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.
Cinder cones are the most dangerous volcanoes?
false
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
Are cinder cones volcanoes steep?
yes

Are Hawaiian volcanoes cinder cones?
No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.

What kind of volcanoes occur on the hawaiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands were formed by shield volcanoes. However, cinder cones are also present on top of some of them.

Do cinder cones erupt silently or explosivley?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.

Where is a cinder cones volcanoes located?
Cinder cones are the mountainous structure built up by some volcanoes. Most of the material that makes up the cone is ash and cinders expelled from the top of the cone.
Are cinder cones formed by low pressure?
no
