What are the negative impacts of a cinder cone volcano?

Answer 1

Cinder cones are cone craters that are typically small and steep shaped. These craters are made up of volcanic debris from rock and cinders filled with gas. These fragments from magma shoot up into the air, cool, and then fall back around and downhill from volcanic vents.

While relatively small in size, cinder cones and the associated volcanic eruptions can impact the local environments. Cinder cone deposits have been found to bury agriculture lands and villages and displace local populations. The eruption of cinder cones in Paracutin in Mexico in 1943 affected five villages and displaced thousands of people. Land disputes and clashes between the recently migrated villagers seeking new lands to farm and existing residents resulted in 100 deaths.
