What else can I help you with?
Do cinder cones erupt felsic or mafic lava?
Composite volcanoes can erupt both mafic and felsic material, but intermediate material is the most common.
What type of volcano has lava that primarily consists of basalt?
Both shield volcanoes and cinder cones primarily erupt basaltic lava.
What statement is not true about cinder cones?
They do not produce lava flows.
What type of lava does a cinder cone volcano have?
A cinder cone volcano typically has basaltic lava, which is low in silica content and flows easily. This results in the formation of steep-sided cones made of mostly cinders and volcanic ash.
What type of eruption do cinder cones have?
Cinder cones typically have Strombolian eruptions, which are characterized by small to moderate explosions of lava and gas. These eruptions are named after the Stromboli volcano in Italy, which exhibits similar explosive activity.

Both shield volcanoes and cinder cones primarily erupt basaltic lava.
Does a cinder cone produce lava flows?
Yes, cinder cones can produce lava flows. Typically, these flows are relatively short and are composed of basaltic lava. Cinder cones are formed from the accumulation of volcanic cinders and ash around a central vent.

What materials do cinder cone volcanoes produce?
Cinder cones produce ash and chunks of lava rock called scoria.
Is lava dome volcanoes the most errupted?
No. Cinder cones are the most common variety.
Is hot gases the only thing that come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
What is a cinder cones type of eruption?
explosive
What is the difference between acid lava cones and ash and cinder cones?
Acid lava cones are smaller and much steeper than ash/cinder cones. Acid lava cones are almost convex in shape and are formed due to thick lava that does not flow freely and cools before reaching very far. This gives in the conical 'dumpy' shape. While ash and cinder cones are more symmetrical and concave in shape. They are formed due to volcanic lava or volcanic bombs (of solidified lava) that was shot up in the air, cool and hardened and broke up into tiny pieces (of ash or cinders) before coming back down to the earth's surface.
Why does a cinder cone have steep sides?
Cinder cones are not made from lava flows. They are made of fragments of righ that have piled up and rest at their angle of repose.
