A spatter cone is formed of molten lava ejected from a vent of a volcano. Expanding gases in the lava fountains tear the liquid rock into irregular gobs that fall back to earth, forming a heap around the vent. The partly liquid rock splashes down and over the sides of the developing mound is called spatter. Because spatter is not fully solid when it lands, the individual deposits are irregular in shape and weld together as they cool, and in this way differ from cinder and ash. A cinder cone is a volcanic cone built almost entirely of loose volcanic fragments called cinders. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit.
Cinder cones are formed from fragmented lava ejected from a single vent, typically consisting of volcanic rock fragments. Spatter cones are built from blobs of molten lava that are ejected from a vent and solidify into volcanic rock. In essence, cinder cones are made of solidified volcanic fragments, while spatter cones are formed from solidified lava droplets.

Does a cinder cone produce lava flows?
Yes, cinder cones can produce lava flows. Typically, these flows are relatively short and are composed of basaltic lava. Cinder cones are formed from the accumulation of volcanic cinders and ash around a central vent.
What is a small volcanic mountain wih a narrow base and steep sides?
A volcanic mountain with a narrow base and steep sides is typically called a volcanic cone or a cinder cone. These cones are formed from explosive eruptions that eject mostly tephra and volcanic ash, resulting in their characteristic steep shape.
A volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides built almost entirely out of basalt lava flows is called a cinder cone.?
Actually, a volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides made of basalt lava flows is typically called a shield volcano, not a cinder cone. Cinder cones are typically smaller, steeper-sided volcanoes formed from ejected rock fragments.
What type of volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments?
A cinder cone volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments. These fragments can range in size from ash to bombs and are ejected during explosive eruptions. Over time, these layers of eruptive material accumulate to form a steep-sided cone-shaped volcano.
What are the 3 types of volcans?
Plinian, Strombolian and Hawaiian..:P
What are the classifications of volcano according to cone shapes?
Cinder Cones, and Spatter Cones +Ang ganda ko :)
How many different types volcanoes are there?
3 3 Five: Shield, Composite/Strato, Cinder Cones, Spatter Cones and Complex.
How many types of volcano are there?
5, Composite (strato), Shield, Cinder Cones, Spatter Cones and Complex Volcanoes
How many cinder cones are there?
their are 6 cinder cone volcanes
What types of slopes do cinder cones have?
Cinder cones generally have a very steep slope. This slope is also considered gentle compared to the cones' short height.
What are cinder cones are made of?
Cinder Cones are composed of rock fragments and the eruption of cinders. The rock fragments pile up around a single crater forming a Cinder Cone.
Are cinder cones explosive or gentle?
explosive
Are cinder cones formed by low pressure?
no
Are cinder cones volcanoes steep?
yes
What is a cinder cones type of eruption?
explosive
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
Do cinder cones erupt silently or explosivley?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.
