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 large volcanic rock particles called?
Lapilli--Lapilli is pyroclastics the size of walnuts.Cinders-- Cinders are a type of pyroclastic material the size of a pea. According to the text, Earth An Introduction to Physical Geology, Cinders come in different forms when "ejected lava blobs are pulverized by the escaping gases".Blocks-- Blocks are particles larger than Lapilli's and are formed by harden lava.Bombs-- Bombs too help to produce blocks, but they are ejected as lava. They take on an streamline shape. They usually tend to fall on the slopes of a cone volcano and they can be ejected far from the volcano due to the force of escaping gasesI answered this earlier but this is a better answer ;)
What is the tiny island country in the north Atlantic that is almost entirely within a volcano area?
Iceland
What is the tiny island country in the north Atlantic that is almost entirely within a volcano and earthquake area?
I think that it is Iceland.
What two Asian island and countries are almost entirely within a volcano or earthquake areas?
I think it's the Philippine and Borneo.
Is a volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides built almost entirely out of basalt lava flows called a cinder cone?
No. Such a structure is called a shield volcano.

What does almost entirely mean?
almost entirely

No. Such a structure is called a shield volcano.

The Answer is false/untrue. A basaltic volcano with gently sloping sides is sometimes refrred to as a 'shield' volcano.
What is the difference between cinder cones and spatter cones?
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.
What is left when a volcano is almost completelu eroded?
The volcano neck
What is a shield volcano built out of?
Shield volcanoes are large volcanoes that are built almost entirely of fluid. Lava flows gently and continuously out of the central volcanic vent or group of vents.
