Because the material is so viscous or consolidated. This is quite unlike a shield volcano which emits low viscosity lava that easily flows.....

Cinder cone volcanoes are not composed of lava flows as shield volcanoes are, but are made of piles of cinders that fell after being ejected into the air. These form slopes at the angle of repose.

Because of climate change that when it is hot cinder cone will have a steep slope but when it is cold cinder cone volcanoes will have slippery slopes like

This was most likely what happened in some particular places like lowlands and highlands areas

The way a volcano is being formed, depends on the type of lava. Cinder cone volcanoes is made from andesitic lava. This type of lava is especially thick, and therefore is won't be able to ''run'' very far from the volcano. In this way, each time a cinder cone volcano erupts, it will create a new layer of lava, making the volcano higher and higher each time, but it will not increase its base area very much.

It's different with shield volcanoes. They are made from another kind of lava which will advance very far from it's vent. Therefore the shield volcano won't often be very tall, but it can have a very large base area

Cinder cones are not made from lava flows. They are made of fragments of righ that have piled up and rest at their angle of repose.

cinder cones has steep sides because the magma came out fast and it took longer to cool.

Why is the cinder cone volcano called the cinder cone volcano?

It isn't. Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano due to its large size, steep slopes, and abundance of ash.


How is a cinder cone volcano different from a hot spot volcano?

A hot spot volcano is a volcano is one that forms as a result of an extra hot area of the mantle just beneath the crust. Such volcanoes are often far from plate boundaries. A cinder cone volcano is a relatively small volcano with steep slopes made of cinders. The two are not mutually exclusive: some cinder cone volcanoes are associated with hot spots.

Are cinder cone volcanoes similar or different from Shield and stratovolcanoes?

There are similarities and differences. Cinder cones are generally much smaller than shield volcanoes or stratovolcanoes. Like shield volcanoes, they primarily erupt basaltic lava. However, like stratovolcanoes they have steep slopes and are composed of material that has erupted into the air and been welded together.
