their are 6 cinder cone volcanes
What types of slopes do cinder cones have?
Cinder cones generally have a very steep slope. This slope is also considered gentle compared to the cones' short height.
HOW Many Vents does Cinder cone?

Are cinder cones formed by low pressure?

Do cinder cones erupt silently or explosivley?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
What is small volcanic cones made entirely of pyroclastic material?
A small volcanic cone made entirely of pyroclastic material is called a cinder cone volcano.
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.
