Why don't flood basalts build volcanic cones?
Flood basalts build volcanic cones because flood basalts are believed to originate when the head of a mantle hotspot first arrives beneath the base of a plate. Because of this, they are unable to build volcanic cones.
What are the names of the peaks of Kilimanjaro?
The three volcanoes names are Shera, Kibo and Mawenzi
The greatest volume of volcanic material is produced by what?
eruptions along ocean ridges
What volcanic type typically produces small steep sided structures composed of pyroclastic material?
The volcanic type that typically produces small steep-sided structures composed of pyroclastic material is a cinder cone. Cinder cones are formed from explosive eruptions that eject particles of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs into the air. These materials fall back to the ground and build up around the vent, forming the characteristic steep slopes of cinder cones.
What features may occur when volcano lava cools at the surface?
Lava domes, composite cones , volcanic islands.

What is difference between seed cones and pollen cones?
Pollen cones are the male pollen-producing cones, and seed cones are the female seed-producing cones in conifer trees.Seed cones are gymnosperms, which means the seeds are not enclosed within an ovary (in Greek, gymno is naked).
What is the difference between acid lava cones and ash and cinder cones?
Acid lava cones are smaller and much steeper than ash/cinder cones. Acid lava cones are almost convex in shape and are formed due to thick lava that does not flow freely and cools before reaching very far. This gives in the conical 'dumpy' shape. While ash and cinder cones are more symmetrical and concave in shape. They are formed due to volcanic lava or volcanic bombs (of solidified lava) that was shot up in the air, cool and hardened and broke up into tiny pieces (of ash or cinders) before coming back down to the earth's surface.
Are Kilimanjaro's 3 volcanic cones extinct?

What is functional difference between rods and cones?
One is for daylight conditions and one is for evening/nighttime conditions.
WHAT IS THE Difference between male and female pine cones?
The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
The greatest volume of volcanic material is produced by what?
eruptions along ocean ridges
What is the difference between a square pyramid and a cone?
Main difference is that square pyramids have square bases, cones have circular bases. For this reason, they're calculated differently.
Differences between cones and pyramids?
cones have round bases
