Detailed explanation-2: -Cinder conesCinder cones, sometimes called scoria cones or pyroclastic cones, are the most common types of volcanic cones. They form after violent eruptions blow lava fragments into the air, which then solidify and fall as cinders around the volcanic vent.
Detailed explanation-3: -Helens and Mount Rainier are stratovolcanoes. Cinder cones-Short, steep volcanoes associated with limited eruptive events. Sunset Crater Volcano and Capulin Volcano are cinder cones. Lava Domes-Lava domes form where thick (viscous) magma erupts to the surface forming a steep dome-shaped landform.
