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.

What is the shape of a volcano formed by fast-flowing lava?

Well it depends on how bad the lava flow is. If the lava is flowing slow then the shape of the volcano won't change much, But if it flows with force then bits of the volcano will fall off and change the shape of the volcano. Hope this answer helps!!
