Yes. Although its typical eruptions produce simple lava flows, there have been cases where water came in contact with magma, triggering explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows.
No. A cinder cone is formed from lower viscosity basaltic lava fountaining into the air. A lava dome is formed from high viscosity lava, usually rhyolite or dacite, erupting slowly.
Sometimes. Most of the lava from a cinder cone is fountained into the air and forms a pile of cinders, but sometimes lava will flow out of the base.
no, only strato
It doesn't, boyo.
Yes.
They do not produce lava flows.
Cinder cones produce ash and chunks of lava rock called scoria.
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
Pahoehoe and a'a refer to different texutres of lava flows. Although cindercones can produce lava flows, their main mode of eruption is called "fire fountaining" which tends to produce chunks of lava called scoria, rather than pahoehoe or a'a.
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.
They do not produce lava flows.
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
Cinder cones produce ash and chunks of lava rock called scoria.
Cinder cones are not made from lava flows. They are made of fragments of righ that have piled up and rest at their angle of repose.
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
No. Cinder cone volcanoes also fountain lava into the air and may produce lava flows as activity is coming to an end.
Pahoehoe and a'a refer to different texutres of lava flows. Although cindercones can produce lava flows, their main mode of eruption is called "fire fountaining" which tends to produce chunks of lava called scoria, rather than pahoehoe or a'a.
A cinder cone volcano is constructed from pyroclastic materials ejected from a central vent. These pyroclastic materials which include lava, lahars, tuffs & welded tuffs accumulate to form the cone shape we observe in these tyoes of volcanoes. They generally have slopes ranging between 30 to 40 degrees. Cinder cones are generally small volcanoes and do not exceed 500m in height. Cinder cones erupt Andesitic lava which has a relativley high viscosity meaning it is thick and flows slowly. Because of the viscosity of the lava they erupt fairly explosivley.Cinder cones are very small and has lava that is very active and are very explosive
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.
Both shield volcanoes and cinder cones erupt low-viscosity basaltic lava and have eruptions that are only mildly explosive if at all.Cinder cones are small, steep-sloped volcanoes composed primarily of a chunky variety of basalt called scoria.Shield volcanoes are large, gently sloping volcanoes composed primarily of layers of lava flows.
Volcanoes are grouped into four types: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes. They are: Cinder Cones: They are circular or oval cones made up of small fragments of lava from a single vent. They have been blown into the air, cooled, and fallen around the vent. Composite: They are steel-sides and composed of many layers of volcanic rocks. Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are examples of this type of volcano. Shield: Shaped like a bowl or shield in the middle, they have long gentle slopes made of basaltic lava flows. The volcanoes that formed the basalt of the Columbia Plateau were shield volcanoes. Lava Volcanoes: Deep sided mound formed by lava that is too thick to flow. The lava piles up near the vent.
There are three kinds of cone volcanoes shield cones, composite cones, and cinder cones. Shield cones have very fluid lava. They erupt with a quiet lava flow. An example of a shield cone volcano is Mauna Loa. A shield cone is pretty much a little dome that has been flattened. Composite cones have sticky lava and rock bits. They have the most explosive eruptions An example of a composite cone volcano is Vesuvius. Composite cones are steep at the top but gentle at the bottom. Cinder cones have cinders. They have explosive eruptions An example is Paricutin. A cinder cone is very steep.
