The answer is both simple and complex.
The lava from below pushes up from underground. The rim of the hole becomes coated with cooled lava. as this process continues the rim gets higher and higher.
It gets smaller towards the top as a result of simple gravitational dynamics.
The particles that would make the cone a cylinder fall away and never become a permanent part of the wall.
In addition as it grows plugs form; which allow the outside to harden even more resisting the internal pressure to bulge.
Most of the lava which exits the volcano tends to gather at the lowest level outside the cone, which also makes the base wider.

What is the normal shape of volcanoes?
Volcanoes are usually cone shaped mountains or hills.
What are cone shaped mountains that eject lava and other materials?
Volcanoes are cone-shaped mountains that can eject lava, ash, and gases from a vent in the Earth's crust. They are formed by the accumulation of erupted material over time.
What are the Kinds of volcanoes according to shape?
The main kinds of volcanoes according to shape are shield volcanoes, which have a low, broad profile; stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), which are tall and conical with steep slopes; cinder cone volcanoes, which are small, steep-sided cones made of pyroclastic material; and calderas, which are large, basin-shaped volcanic depressions usually formed by the collapse of a magma chamber.
Which volcanoes form from the fallen cinders and tephra of an eruption?
Cinder cone volcanoes form from the accumulation of cinders and tephra during an explosive volcanic eruption. This material is ejected from the volcano and falls around the vent, building up a cone-shaped structure. Examples of cinder cone volcanoes include Paricutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in Arizona.
What is the shape of a cinder cone volcano?
cinder cone volcanoes: consist of primarily erupted volcanic ash and rock fragments, or cinders. When the volcano erupts the ash and rock are ejected onto the mountain. As this process continues the volcano "grows" higher because of the debris build up.

Does Mars only have cone-shaped volcanoes?
yes
What shape do Hawaiian volcanoes have?
They are shield volcanoes. This means that they are cone shaped but with very shallow slope angles forming the volcanoes flank.
What are cone shaped mountains that eject lava and other materials?

Shape of mount erebus?
Erebus is shaped like most volcanoes -- like an upside-down cone.
How do Cinder Volcanoes form?
Lava is spewed out of a vent like a cannonball, forming a cone-shaped volcano.
