What is the lava of cinder cone volcanoes?
A cinder cone has basaltic lava, which has a fairly low viscosity.
What is inside the cinder cone volcano?
lava
What kind of volcano forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
cinder cone
What type of lava does a cinder cone volcano have?
A cinder cone volcano typically has basaltic lava, which is low in silica content and flows easily. This results in the formation of steep-sided cones made of mostly cinders and volcanic ash.
What color is the lava of cinder cone volcanoes?
The lava of cinder cone volcanoes is typically black, dark red, or dark brown in color. This is due to the high iron and magnesium content in the lava, which gives it a darker appearance compared to other types of lava.
Is hot gases the only thing that come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
How does lava affect the cinder cone volcano?
makes it bigger
Was Mount Tambora a composite cone or a cinder cone or a shield dome or a lava dome?
Tambora was a composite cone.
Is Mount Kenya a composite cone a cinder cone or a shield cone?
Mount Kenya is neither a composite cone, cinder cone, nor a shield cone. It is a complex stratovolcano made up of layers of lava and ash.
Why does a cinder cone volcanoes have such steep sides?
when lava flows down it the lava that stayed on it gets hard
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
Both cinder cone and shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava flows. However, cinder cone volcanoes are characterized by steep slopes, smaller size, and built up from pyroclastic material like ash and cinders, while shield volcanoes are much larger with gentle slopes built from numerous lava flows.
What type of lava do cinder cones have?
Basaltic. There is more gas content than in most basaltic magma so that when a cinder cone erupts, The pressure builds up and makes the eruption somewhat explosive. Tephra, or dried lava/magma, is shot up, and joined to the volcano making it larger.
