You're possibly looking for an Andesite volcano. Characterized by periodic eruptions of ash and pumice, and prone to highly explosive eruptions. Some of these are just explosion craters - Yellowstone and Taupo would be a couple of examples where at the end of the eruption, a lake; or series of lakes; are left behind, but without an obvious cinder cone.

The name comes from the Andes mountains of S America, where there are exceptional examples of their cones.

What is the name of the circular or oval shaped opening on a volcano?

A cinder cone volcano


Are parasitic cone cinder cone the same?

Parasitic cone volcanos and cinder cone volcanos are not the same when classifying. Cinder cone volcanos are the most popular type of volcano, named for its cone shaped formation. Cinder cone volcano are also considered the smallest type of volcanos and can stand alone or grow on the flanks of other volcanos. The parasitic cone volcanos are similar to the cinder cones, however, the volcano is found on the flanks of other volcanos, hence, the name. It is created by flank eruptions of larger volcanos.


What are some famous cinder cone volcanoes?

Some famous cinder cone volcanoes include Paricutin in Mexico, Sunset Crater in Arizona, and Capulin Volcano in New Mexico. These volcanoes are characterized by their small size and steep-sloped cones composed of loose volcanic fragments known as cinders.


How did cinder cone volcano get its name?

Cinder cone volcanoes are named because they are composed primarily of loose volcanic fragments called cinders. These cinders are ejected during eruptions and accumulate around the vent, eventually forming the cone-shaped structure we see today.


Name three types of volcano forms?

Shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes are three types of volcano forms. Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides, stratovolcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided cones, and cinder cone volcanoes are made of pyroclastic fragments.

What kind of volcanoes have cinder cones?

It is good to be interested in this sort of question, and the answers to it are available to you if you search the web or look in Wikipedia (it will help you to get answers more quickly if you learn how to do this) - for instance the answer to this question is to be found on the link I am placing below.


When lava is forced out 1 side of a volcano what is that called?

When a secondary vent opens on a volcano the name can depend based on the type of eruption as well as the type of volcano. If a Shield Volcano has a secondary vent eruption it is called a rift eruption. This is demonstrated in the current eruption on Kileaua volcano in Hawaii. In a stratovolcano a secondary vent can either be a rift vent, or a cinder cone. This depends on the nature of the eruption. If it is a moderate explosive eruption with minor lava effusion than it would develope into a cinder cone, while if it is a constant lava spatter it would be deemed a rift zone eruption. There are several other minor terms of events, however they are extremely rare and are associated with both of these types of eruptions.
