What is the difference between a cinder cone and a stratovolcano?

Answer 1

A cinder cone is a relatively small volcano that erupts mostly chunks of a variety of basaltic lava called scoria. Eruptions are somewhat explosive, but not very.
Stratovolcanoes form tall mountains and can erupt a variety of materials ranging in composition from basalt to rhyolite. These volcanoes can erupt either clouds of ash and pumice, or lava flows. They can produce highly explosive eruptions.

Answer 2

A cinder cone is a small, steep-sided volcanic cone made of fragmented volcanic rock, while a stratovolcano is a large, symmetrical volcanic cone composed of alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. Stratovolcanoes are typically taller and more explosive than cinder cones.
