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 do cinder cone volcanoes erupt?

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.
