Best Answer

You're possibly looking for an Andesite volcano. Characterized by periodic eruptions of ash and pumice, and prone to highly explosive eruptions. Some of these are just explosion craters - Yellowstone and Taupo would be a couple of examples where at the end of the eruption, a lake; or series of lakes; are left behind, but without an obvious cinder cone.

The name comes from the Andes mountains of S America, where there are exceptional examples of their cones.

Are parasitic cone cinder cone the same?

Parasitic cone volcanos and cinder cone volcanos are not the same when classifying. Cinder cone volcanos are the most popular type of volcano, named for its cone shaped formation. Cinder cone volcano are also considered the smallest type of volcanos and can stand alone or grow on the flanks of other volcanos. The parasitic cone volcanos are similar to the cinder cones, however, the volcano is found on the flanks of other volcanos, hence, the name. It is created by flank eruptions of larger volcanos.

When lava is forced out 1 side of a volcano what is that called?

When a secondary vent opens on a volcano the name can depend based on the type of eruption as well as the type of volcano. If a Shield Volcano has a secondary vent eruption it is called a rift eruption. This is demonstrated in the current eruption on Kileaua volcano in Hawaii. In a stratovolcano a secondary vent can either be a rift vent, or a cinder cone. This depends on the nature of the eruption. If it is a moderate explosive eruption with minor lava effusion than it would develope into a cinder cone, while if it is a constant lava spatter it would be deemed a rift zone eruption. There are several other minor terms of events, however they are extremely rare and are associated with both of these types of eruptions.
