A cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcano. It is formed from volcanic fragments (scoria or pumice--vesicular extrusive igneous rocks) and is very steep sided, although not always extremely tall. They usually have just one main vent, and can also sometimes form from a vent of a larger volcano, growing and becoming a whole new volcano.
The cinder cone volcano measures under a thousand feet in height and is considered to be the simplest kind of volcano. They have one vent and when they erupt the lava and other particles fall to form a circular cone around the vent.
