What does a cinder cone volcano look like?

Answer 1

A cinder cone volcano is constructed from pyroclastic materials ejected from a central vent. These pyroclastic materials which include lava, lahars, tuffs & welded tuffs accumulate to form the cone shape we observe in these tyoes of volcanoes. They generally have slopes ranging between 30 to 40 degrees. Cinder cones are generally small volcanoes and do not exceed 500m in height. Cinder cones erupt Andesitic lava which has a relativley high viscosity meaning it is thick and flows slowly. Because of the viscosity of the lava they erupt fairly explosivley.Cinder cones are very small and has lava that is very active and are very explosive

Answer 2

Cinder cone volcanoes are the most common kind of volcanoes.They are steep sided cones of basaltic fragments and are smaller and simpler than composite volcanoes. Streaming gases carry liquid lava blobs into the atmosphere that fall back to earth around a single vent to form the cone. The volcano forms when ash, cinders and bombs pile up around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.

Cinders are melted volcanic rock that cooled and formed pebble-sized pieces when it was thrown out into the air. They are ejected from a single vent and accumulate around the vent when they fall back to earth.

Bombs are melted volcanic rock that cooled and formed large pieces of rock when it was thrown out into the air before landing on the ground.

Answer 3

Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit and rarely rise more than a thousand feet or so above their surroundings. Cinder cones are numerous in western North America as well as throughout other volcanic terrains of the world.

Answer 4

A cinder cone volcano is typically small and steep-sided, with a conical shape made up of loose volcanic rocks called cinders. These volcanoes are usually formed from explosive eruptions that eject volcanic material into the air, which then falls back to the ground and builds up around the vent. They often have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit.

Answer 5

A cinder cone volcano is steep-sided with slopes made of small, jagged rocks that are usually dark in color.

Answer 6

a cinder cone is a volcano that spews mainly pyroclastic material. it is steep-sided and erodes easily. they are small and do not stay active for long.

Answer 7

They are a steep cone shaped hill or small mountain.

Answer 8

a cinder cone volcanoe looks like an upside down ice cream cone.
