A spatter cone is formed of molten lava ejected from a vent of a volcano. Expanding gases in the lava fountains tear the liquid rock into irregular gobs that fall back to earth, forming a heap around the vent. The partly liquid rock splashes down and over the sides of the developing mound is called spatter. Because spatter is not fully solid when it lands, the individual deposits are irregular in shape and weld together as they cool, and in this way differ from cinder and ash. A cinder cone is a volcanic cone built almost entirely of loose volcanic fragments called cinders. 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.

What type of volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments?
Cinder Cones
Type of mountain where magma breaks the surface?
The type of mountain where magma breaks the surface is a volcano. Their are three types of volcanos, composite, shield, and cinder cones.

What is a ceramic pyramid to time temperatures in kiln?
Typically 3 pyrometric cones are used to indicate when the other items in the kiln have cooked long enough and hot enough.
What is Andesitic lava?
A stratovolcano is a name given to a volcano that has grown by progressive stacking of eruptive products (e.g. lava flows and pyroclastic flows). The term composite volcano is often preferred as it does not suggest that this stacking occurs in neat layers (i.e. 'strata' is a geological term for a layer of rock). Andesite is a type of igneous rock which is characterized by an intermediate amount of silica. It has more silica than basalts (e.g. Hawaii) and less silica than dacites (e.g. Mt. St. Helens).which it means active
What are the classifications of volcano according to cone shapes?
Cinder Cones, and Spatter Cones +Ang ganda ko :)
How many different types volcanoes are there?
3 3 Five: Shield, Composite/Strato, Cinder Cones, Spatter Cones and Complex.
How many types of volcano are there?
5, Composite (strato), Shield, Cinder Cones, Spatter Cones and Complex Volcanoes
What are six types of volcanoes?
1. Composite Volcanoes 2. Shield Volcanoes 3. Cinder Cones 4. Spatter Cones 5. Complex Volcanoes
How many cinder cones are there?
their are 6 cinder cone volcanes
What types of slopes do cinder cones have?
Cinder cones generally have a very steep slope. This slope is also considered gentle compared to the cones' short height.
What are cinder cones are made of?
Cinder Cones are composed of rock fragments and the eruption of cinders. The rock fragments pile up around a single crater forming a Cinder Cone.
HOW Many Vents does Cinder cone?
Cinder cones always have one vent.
Are cinder cones explosive or gentle?
explosive
Are cinder cones formed by low pressure?
no
Are cinder cones volcanoes steep?
yes
What is a cinder cones type of eruption?
explosive
