Are cinder cones volcanoes steep?
yes
Are Hawaiian volcanoes cinder cones?
No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.
Are cinder cones usually found at the edge of large volcanoes?
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.
Cinder cones are the most dangerous volcanoes?
false
Do cinder cone volcanoes have granitic magma?
No. Cinder cones are formed by basaltic magma.
Do cinder cones erupt silently or explosivley?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosivly.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Where is a cinder cones volcanoes located?
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.
Is the shield volcano the smallest?
No. Shield volcanoes are quite large. Cinder cones are the smallest volcanoes.
Where are cinder cones located?
Cinder cone volcanoes are usually found on dry land and in corn fields
What are the kinds of cone volcanoes?
There are three kinds of cone volcanoes shield cones, composite cones, and cinder cones. Shield cones have very fluid lava. They erupt with a quiet lava flow. An example of a shield cone volcano is Mauna Loa. A shield cone is pretty much a little dome that has been flattened. Composite cones have sticky lava and rock bits. They have the most explosive eruptions An example of a composite cone volcano is Vesuvius. Composite cones are steep at the top but gentle at the bottom. Cinder cones have cinders. They have explosive eruptions An example is Paricutin. A cinder cone is very steep.
Cinder cones are generally formed when volcanoes eject?
solid fragments
