A cinder cone volcano erupts cinder, or chunks of basaltic lava that develop in lava fountains. These cinders are often filled with bubbles, creating a kind of rock called scoria. Some cinders contain xenoliths, which are chunks of rock that got broken off and carried to the surface without melting and joining the magma. Xenoliths can come from both the crust and from the mantle.

What is the difference between andesite and basalt?
Both andesite and basalt are volcanic rocks. Basalt is denser and generally darker than andesite. It has a lower silica content and more iron and magnesium. It most often forms from pahoehoe or a'a lava flows and occasionally scoria cinders. Andesite forms from more slica-rich material and is often found in the form of ash, pumice, or volcanic bombs. It may also sometimes form block lava flows, which are more viscous that a'a or pahoehoe.

What is the origin of vesicles in basalt?
The vesicles in some basalts are remnants of bubbles of trapped gas. basalt is an extrusive rock which means it is formed outside the earths crust when lava cools sometimes the gas bubbles in the lava are trapped in the main body of the rock as it cools but most of the gas gets to the top of the lava and is very bubbly and forms pumice
