Why do cinder cone volcanoes have narrower bases and steeper sides then shield volcanoes do?

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
