Cinder cone volcanoes are like a small "pop" not like a big erupt. Shield volcanoes are bigger because they make a big explosion of oozing lava. The cinder cones only erupt once and the ash forms a large crater that stacks up
Cinder cone volcanoes usually form in condition where small amounts of basaltic magma are available. These volcanoes are usually monogenetic, meaning that once the initial phase of activity that forms them ends, they go quiet forever.
Cinder cones usually develop when small amounts of magma reach the surface. Unlike shield and composite volcanoes, which build up over thousands to millions of years, cinder cones usually lack a "Plumbing system" to keep magma coming, so after an initial phase of eruptive activity, they usually stop erupting permanently.
Shield volcanoes usually erupt in a non-explosive manner, producing slow-moving lava flows. These lava flows may be destructive, but they are usually easy to escape. Cinder cones are somewhat more explosive and spew out molten cinders and hot ash that can cause conditions to deteriorate quickly.
Cinder cones are generally monogenetic, meaning that they are formed entirely by one period of activity before going extinct. Shield volcanoes are polygenetic, meaning they go through multiple periods of activity and dormancy over the course of thousands to millions of years.
The shield volcano is the largest and the broad volcano the cinder cone volcano is a small cone and forms tephra.
The cinder-cone volcano, which usually forms very quickly after a single eruption, is relatively small to other types of volcanoes. So, no, cinder is not larger than a shield volcano.
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.

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.
There are a number of volcanoes in Iceland of different types including shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and stratovolcanoes.
No. The Hawaiian islands are shield volcanoes.

Shield volcanoes and cinder cones
There are a number of volcanoes in Iceland of different types including shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and stratovolcanoes.
There are four main types of volcanoes. These include shield volcanoes, cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and lava domes.
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.
shield volcanoes have cinders that come out then land on it. that's what makes them bigger than cinder cone volcanoes.
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.
