Which type of volcano doesn't get very big or tall because it is susceptible to erosion?

The answer is a Cinder Cone Volcano. Cinder cones build from the ejected materials-mainly ash and rock-that fall near the summit or crater of the volcano. They erode faster than other volcanoes because their volcanic materials are not held together by hardened lava. Most cinder cone volcanoes are short, rising less than a thousand feet, and have a bowl-shaped crater at the top.
