What is the term for a feature consisting of a relatively small pile of pyroclastic materials?
A small pile of pyroclastic materials is known as a volcanic cone or a cinder cone. These form from the accumulation of fragmented volcanic rock, ash, and cinders around a volcanic vent.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
No, shield volcanoes are a specific type of volcano characterized by their broad, gentle slopes and low viscosity lava flows. "Volcano" is a general term that refers to any landform where volcanic activity occurs, encompassing a variety of volcano types such as shield, composite, and cinder cone volcanoes.
Is ruiz a composite cylinder or a shield volcano?
Nevado del Ruiz is a composite volcano. Additionally, the correct term is cinder cone, not cyclinder.
Are cinder cones usually found at the edge of large volcanoes?
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.
What are the three types of volcanoes are called?
•Volcanoes are found in three different states-•Active which means: Erupted recently and expected to erupt again.•Dormant which is: A volcano which has not erupted in recorded history.•Extinct this means: A volcano which is never going to erupt again.

What volano is made entirely of tephra?
A tephra cone volcano, also known as a cinder cone volcano, is made entirely of tephra. Tephra is a term for fragmented material produced by a volcanic eruption, such as ash, cinders, and bombs. Tephra cone volcanoes are typically small in size and have steep slopes due to the build-up of tephra fragments from explosive eruptions.

What is an extent volcano?
The term "extent volcano" does not have a recognized or widely used definition or specific meaning in the field of volcanology. It appears to be an incorrect or ambiguous term. It is best to use established terms such as shield volcano, stratovolcano, or cinder cone volcano to describe different types of volcanoes.
What is cinder made from?
A partiallly oxidized substance that will no longer support combustion. This term is commonly associated with depleted coal.
What term does not belong - fruit - seed - ovary - cone?

What is another term for a cone that is used for cats?

What term is given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse in the Earth?
That term is 'calderas'
Its is not cone what shape is a volcanoe?
A true cone come to a point at the narrow end. Volcanos do not come to sharp points, therefore they are not true cones: however . . . there is a term for a cone that has had its point removed. That term is, "Truncated cone". That is what the mountain-shaped volcanos are.
