Which type of volcano doesn't get very big or tall because it is susceptible to erosion?

The answer is a Cinder Cone Volcano.
Cinder cones build from the ejected materials-mainly ash and rock-that fall near the summit or crater of the volcano. They erode faster than other volcanoes because their volcanic materials are not held together by hardened lava.
Most cinder cone volcanoes are short, rising less than a thousand feet, and have a bowl-shaped crater at the top.

How does weathering impact volcanoes?
Ejecta from volcanoes (ash and debris) can cause erosion. Sometimes ash flow may fill up or push out lakes, and all that water can contribute to mudslide erosion. Typically, however, volcanic ash deposits are the opposite of erosion as the volcano builds a cinder cone, and eruptions of molten rock solidify to make new layers of rock.
