Because they are
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.
The most common type of volcano is the cinder cone volcano. I did a report on it. . . i should know.
Province of Albay, Philippines.

Cylinder cone shaped
An elliptical base is a base that is shaped like a flattened circle. This is most common on objects that are cone shaped.
Erebus is shaped like most volcanoes -- like an upside-down cone.
yes, earth has many volcanos, the most active ones prefere warm climates and weather conditions
Lava is spewed out of a vent like a cannonball, forming a cone-shaped volcano.
Like Earth, Venus has volcanic mountains and other features that are probably made of thin, runny lava, on Venus the volcanos sometimes spew out sulfur into the atmosphere, although there is no proof Venus is volcanically active, scientists believe it most likely is. On Mars there are large shields of volcanoes similar to those on Venus and Earth,as well as cone-shaped volcanoes and lava flows, some of these volcaoes are significantly bigger than Earth's volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons, which is 3 times the size of Mount Everest, but none of these are volcanically active.
Volcanos form usually from thin spots in the Earth's crust where magma pipes may extend up to the surface. Magma flow may build up from these pipes resulting in the formation of volcanos. Also, plate tectonics may result in regions of upheval and the formation of mountains and volcanos.
There are three types of volcanos, shield, cinder, and composite volcanos. Cinder volcanos are the smallest, while shield volcanos are the largest. Composite volcanos are the most dangerous and the most explosive.
