Cinder cones are the mountainous structure built up by some volcanoes. Most of the material that makes up the cone is ash and cinders expelled from the top of the cone.
Cinder cone volcanoes are usually found on dry land and in corn fields
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.

There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
There are three kinds of cone volcanoes shield cones, composite cones, and cinder cones. Shield cones have very fluid lava. They erupt with a quiet lava flow. An example of a shield cone volcano is Mauna Loa. A shield cone is pretty much a little dome that has been flattened. Composite cones have sticky lava and rock bits. They have the most explosive eruptions An example of a composite cone volcano is Vesuvius. Composite cones are steep at the top but gentle at the bottom. Cinder cones have cinders. They have explosive eruptions An example is Paricutin. A cinder cone is very steep.

No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.

No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.
Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.

No. Shield volcanoes are quite large. Cinder cones are the smallest volcanoes.
