Some examples of cinder cone volcanoes in the Philippines include Mount Malindig on the island of Marinduque and Mount San Carlos in Negros Occidental. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep sides and typically smaller size compared to other types of volcanoes.
Some famous cinder cone volcanoes include Parícutin in Mexico, Sunset Crater in Arizona, and Cerro Negro in Nicaragua.

There are many hundreds of cinder cone volcanoes in the world. Some are in Hawaii but most are not. The Hawaiian islands themselves are shield volcanoes.
There are four basic types of volcanos. They are cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava domes. Composite volcanoes share some characteristics of all the others.
Some cinder cone volcanoes in the Philippines are Musuan, or Calayao Volcano, and Mayon Volcano.

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.
Cinder cone volcanoes are generally considered to be non-explosive compared to stratovolcanoes. They typically erupt with fire fountains and release lava flows rather than explosive eruptions with ash and pyroclastic flows. However, some cinder cone eruptions can exhibit some degree of explosivity depending on the gas content of the magma.
Some famous cinder cone volcanoes include Paricutin in Mexico, Sunset Crater in Arizona, and Capulin Volcano in New Mexico. These volcanoes are characterized by their small size and steep-sloped cones composed of loose volcanic fragments known as cinders.
