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

Is mount paricutin in Mexico a composite shield or cinder cone volcano?

Mount Paricutin in Mexico is a cinder cone volcano. It erupted in 1943 and is known for its relatively steep slopes and cone-shaped profile, characteristics typical of cinder cone volcanoes. Unlike composite volcanoes, which are built up by multiple layers of lava flows, ash, and other volcanic debris, cinder cones primarily consist of small fragments of volcanic rock called cinders. Paricutin's formation and eruption provide a classic example of cinder cone volcanism.
