A cinder cone is formed when a very gassy magma erupts, it is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments (volcanic clinkers, cinders, volcanic ash) called scoria.
The explosive eruptions or lava fountains occur from single, typically cylindrical, vents and as the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as scoria around the vent to form a cone that often is beautifully symmetrical; with slopes between 30-40° with a bowl shaped depression at the top.
