Both shield volcanoes and cinder cones erupt low-viscosity basaltic lava and have eruptions that are only mildly explosive if at all.
Cinder cones are small, steep-sloped volcanoes composed primarily of a chunky variety of basalt called scoria.
Shield volcanoes are large, gently sloping volcanoes composed primarily of layers of lava flows.
