A cinder cone volcano is constructed from pyroclastic materials ejected from a central vent. These pyroclastic materials which include lava, lahars, tuffs & welded tuffs accumulate to form the cone shape we observe in these tyoes of volcanoes. They generally have slopes ranging between 30 to 40 degrees. Cinder cones are generally small volcanoes and do not exceed 500m in height. Cinder cones erupt Andesitic lava which has a relativley high viscosity meaning it is thick and flows slowly. Because of the viscosity of the lava they erupt fairly explosivley.Cinder cones are very small and has lava that is very active and are very explosive

∙ 13y agoCinder cone volcanoes are the most common kind of volcanoes.They are steep sided cones of basaltic fragments and are smaller and simpler than composite volcanoes. Streaming gases carry liquid lava blobs into the atmosphere that fall back to earth around a single vent to form the cone. The volcano forms when ash, cinders and bombs pile up around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.
Cinders are melted volcanic rock that cooled and formed pebble-sized pieces when it was thrown out into the air. They are ejected from a single vent and accumulate around the vent when they fall back to earth.
Bombs are melted volcanic rock that cooled and formed large pieces of rock when it was thrown out into the air before landing on the ground.

∙ 12y agoCinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit and rarely rise more than a thousand feet or so above their surroundings. Cinder cones are numerous in western North America as well as throughout other volcanic terrains of the world.

Why is the cinder cone volcano called the cinder cone volcano?
It isn't. Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano due to its large size, steep slopes, and abundance of ash.
What does a cinder cone look like?
A cinder cone volcano is steep-sided with slopes made of small, jagged rocks that are usually dark in color.
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.
Can you show me a picture of a cinder cone volcano?
Cinder cone volcanoes look kind of like a mound/donut shaped. from the side view, it looks like there's a donut hole at the top in the middle. From the top view, it looks basically like a donut from the top view. =)
What does composite volcanoes look like?
a cinder cone volcanoe looks like a ant hill

What is the name of the cone shape mountain?
The closest thing I can think of is a Cinder Cone Volcano. They look like conical mountains

What type of eruption does a cinder cone volcano have?
It depends upon the amount and pressure of a gas when it reaches the surface.
What do cone volcaneoes look like?
A cone volcano is what most people think of when you say volcano; it looks like a mountain with a bit missing at the top. Mount Fuji is a perfect example of a cone volcano.
What kind of volcanoes have cinder cones?
It is good to be interested in this sort of question, and the answers to it are available to you if you search the web or look in Wikipedia (it will help you to get answers more quickly if you learn how to do this) - for instance the answer to this question is to be found on the link I am placing below.
Are cinder cone volcanoes active today?
yes yes they are and look at a different site this one stinkes
What does a Composite cone volcano look like?
Most composite volcanoes have a crater at the summit which contains a central vent or a clustered group of vents.
Why is Mauna Loa a shield volcano?
Yes. Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano. If you look at Mt. Kilauea at an angle, it will look like a big cone.
