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

∙ 15y agoA cinder cone is a volcano that occurs near a volcanic vent. It is from "small" to "medium" height compared to other types of volcano, and it has steep sides built up of volcanic (clastic) rock. The sides are not "strong" as such, and if it erupts and expells lava, the lava will push out the weakest side (unless it actually "fountains" straight up) and flow out and down from there. The result will be a horseshoe shaped "partial cone" with the missing side being the way the lava will exit. There are a couple of examples in Paricutin in Mexico and Cerro Negro in Nicaragua.

What are some famous cinder cone volcanoes?
Ghicci Volcano, Alasad Volcano, Sheperd Volcano, Roach Volcano, Soap Volcano, and Price Volcano
Where is a cinder cones volcanoes located?
Cinder cones are the mountainous structure built up by some volcanoes. Most of the material that makes up the cone is ash and cinders expelled from the top of the cone.
What is the shape of a cinder cone volcano?
cinder cone volcanoes: consist of primarily erupted volcanic ash and rock fragments, or cinders. When the volcano erupts the ash and rock are ejected onto the mountain. As this process continues the volcano "grows" higher because of the debris build up.

Why do cinder cone volcanoes have steep slopes?
shield volcanoes have cinders that come out then land on it. that's what makes them bigger than cinder cone volcanoes.

Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
