Cinder cones form around a volcanic vent. Lava explodes into the air and cools very quickly forming accumulating a ring of volcanic fragments (like scoria or tuff) around the vent. They are not very tall or strong because there is nothing cementing the fragments together. Their slope never exceeds the angle of repose (approximately 45 degrees). They are not associated with any specific type of lava. Any flavour is possible.
What else can I help you with?
What is similar about cinder cone volcanoes and shield volcanoes?
Both shield volcanoes and cinder cones erupt low-viscosity basaltic lava and have eruptions that are only mildly explosive if at all.Cinder cones are small, steep-sloped volcanoes composed primarily of a chunky variety of basalt called scoria.Shield volcanoes are large, gently sloping volcanoes composed primarily of layers of lava flows.
What causes the volcanoes to erupt on Venus'?
No one know if there are active volcanoes on Venus. There are old ones. There is no evidence of plate motion on Venus.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
What types of volcanoes have explosive eruptions?
Strato and Cinder-cone volcanos but cinder cones can have non explosive too but not strato
Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
How do cinder cone volcanos erupt?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
Do cinder cones erupt silently or explosivley?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.
What volcanoes erupt gently?
Shield volcanoes erupt least violently cinder cone most violently and compost can erupt either way.
Why do cinder cone volcanoes erupt ash and rock?
they are made out of rock
What causes a cinder cone volcano to erupt?
you
Do cinder cones erupt felsic or mafic lava?
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
Do cinder cone volcanoes erupt gently and long lasting?
I don't know I'm asking you
How are shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes somewhat same?
Both erupt basaltic lava, which has a low silica content and a high temperature.
What causes formation of cinder cone?
Ash, cinder and bombs erupt explosively to form a cone shaped hill
What do cinder cone volcanoes erupt?
When a Cinder Cone volcano erupts it shoots out ash, and that's how they form also, ash builds up on there sides and grow taller and taller every time a cinder cone erupts. Hope this helps!
Is hot gases the only thing that come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
What are the three major types of valcanos?
The three major types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides and are primarily composed of basaltic lava. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes that erupt primarily cinder-sized fragments. Stratovolcanoes are tall, conical volcanoes composed of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and other materials.
