The type of volcano that is built entirely of ejected lava fragments is a volcanic cone. Volcanic cones can be of varying types, and it depends upon the nature, and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption.

What are large volcanic rock particles called?

Lapilli--Lapilli is pyroclastics the size of walnuts.Cinders-- Cinders are a type of pyroclastic material the size of a pea. According to the text, Earth An Introduction to Physical Geology, Cinders come in different forms when "ejected lava blobs are pulverized by the escaping gases".Blocks-- Blocks are particles larger than Lapilli's and are formed by harden lava.Bombs-- Bombs too help to produce blocks, but they are ejected as lava. They take on an streamline shape. They usually tend to fall on the slopes of a cone volcano and they can be ejected far from the volcano due to the force of escaping gasesI answered this earlier but this is a better answer ;)


True or false A volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides built almost entirely of lava flow is called a cinder core?

False. A volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides built almost entirely of lava flow is called a shield volcano. A cinder cone, on the other hand, is a smaller, more steep-sided volcanic cone usually composed of loose volcanic fragments called cinders.


What two Asian island and countries are almost entirely within a volcano or earthquake areas?

I think it's the Philippine and Borneo.


What is the tiny island country in the north Atlantic that is almost entirely within a volcano and earthquake area?

Iceland is the tiny island country in the north Atlantic that is almost entirely within a volcano and earthquake area. Its unique geological features, including geysers, hot springs, and volcanic activity, are a result of its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.


What is the tiny island country in the north Atlantic that is almost entirely within a volcano area?

Iceland is the tiny island country in the north Atlantic that is almost entirely located within a volcanic area, with numerous active volcanoes and geothermal features scattered across the island.

What type of volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments?

A cinder cone volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments. These fragments can range in size from ash to bombs and are ejected during explosive eruptions. Over time, these layers of eruptive material accumulate to form a steep-sided cone-shaped volcano.


A volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides built almost entirely out of basalt lava flows is called a cinder cone.?

Actually, a volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides made of basalt lava flows is typically called a shield volcano, not a cinder cone. Cinder cones are typically smaller, steeper-sided volcanoes formed from ejected rock fragments.

What is the difference between cinder cones and spatter cones?

A spatter cone is formed of molten lava ejected from a vent of a volcano. Expanding gases in the lava fountains tear the liquid rock into irregular gobs that fall back to earth, forming a heap around the vent. The partly liquid rock splashes down and over the sides of the developing mound is called spatter. Because spatter is not fully solid when it lands, the individual deposits are irregular in shape and weld together as they cool, and in this way differ from cinder and ash. A cinder cone is a volcanic cone built almost entirely of loose volcanic fragments called cinders. 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.
