How are cinder cone volcanoes formed?

In: Earth Sciences, Landforms, Volcanoes [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
