Best Answer

cinder cone volcanoes are much smaller and grow in

clusters they also naturally contain no lava

composite volcanoes are large and cone shaped but you can rarely find

two very close together the lava in composite volcanoes is high in

silica and makes it thick and pasty which can clog up vents and cause

very violent eruptions
