Why is the cinder cone volcano called the cinder cone volcano?
It isn't. Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano due to its large size, steep slopes, and abundance of ash.
How tall is a cinder cone?
Cinder Cones can very greatly in size. However, in comparison with the other volcano types they are the smallest. they can grow from only 500m height. They can form either by themselves, or in association with strato volcanoes. The tallest type of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. The tallest mountain in the world from base to top is a shield volcano.
What is the shape and size of a composite volcano?
A Composite Volcanic mountain, or volcano, is very tall. Taller than shield and cinder cone. Professor, M. Moody
What is an ash-cinder volcano?
ash and cinder volcanoes have steep sides but arent very tall.when they erupt,small solid fragments of rock and ash come oyt of the volcanoe composite cone volcanoes are the most commmon. they are very tall,and they erupt with runny lava followed by explosive thick lava.

Is Mount Rainier a cinder cone?
No. No cinder cone is even close to that size. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano.
What is a cinder volcanos?
A cinder cone volcano is mainly composed of solid fragments. These solid fragments are known as tephra (TEHfruh) and include fragments of volcanic rock or lava. These fragments range in size from tiny particles to huge boulders.

How is a cinder cone volcano made?
Cinder cone volcanoes are the most common kind of volcanoes. they are steep sided cones of basaltic fragments and are smaller and simpler than composite volcanoes. Streaming gases carry liquid lava blobs into the atmosphere that fall back to earth around a single vent to form the cone. The volcano forms when ash, cinders and bombs pile up around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Cinders are melted volcanic rock that cooled and formed pebble-sized pieces when it was thrown out into the air. They are ejected from a single vent and accumulate around the vent when they fall back to earth. Bombs are melted volcanic rock that cooled and formed large pieces of rock when it was thrown out into the air before landing on the ground. Cinder cones are chiefly formed by Strombolian eruptions. They grow rapidly and soon reach their maximum size. Cinder cones can occur alone or in small to large groups or fields. Most have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit. The longer the eruption, the higher the cone. They rarely exceed 250 meters in height and 500 meters in diameter, although some may rise to as high as 650 meters or more. If gas pressure drops, the final stage cinder cone construction may be a lava flow that breaks through the base of the cone. If a lot of water in the environment has access to the molten magma, their interaction may result in a maar volcano rather than a cinder cone. The shape of a cinder cone can be modified during its life. When the position of the vent alters, aligned twin cones develop. Nested, buried or breached cones are formed when the power of the eruption varies. A great example of a cinder cone is Paricutin in Mexico. In Iceland, Surter I and Surter II cinder cone volcanoes created an island named Surtsey.
What are the three different volcanoes?
The three different types of volcanoes include the following; shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and the cinder cone volcanoes. These all have their names because of the size and shape of the out rocks of the actual volcano itself.
What type of volcano is build almost entirely from ejected lava fragments?
The type of volcano that is built entirely of ejected lava fragments is a volcanic cone. Volcanic cones can be of varying types, and it depends upon the nature, and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption.
What are the negative impacts of a cinder cone volcano?
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.
