Cinder cones are the mountainous structure built up by some volcanoes. Most of the material that makes up the cone is ash and cinders expelled from the top of the cone.
Cinder cone volcanoes are usually found on dry land and in corn fields
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
No. Shield volcanoes are quite large. Cinder cones are the smallest volcanoes.
The two main types of cone volcanoes are stratovolcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are large, steep-sided volcanoes composed of layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. Cinder cone volcanoes are smaller, symmetrical volcanoes formed from pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.

yes
No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.

Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.

Shield volcanoes and cinder cones
There are four main types of volcanoes. These include shield volcanoes, cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and lava domes.
