GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cinder cones are simple volcanoes which have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit and steep sides. They only grow to about a thousand feet, the size of a hill. They usually are created of eruptions from a single opening, unlike a strato-volcano or shield volcano which can erupt from many different openings.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parícutin Volcano, Mexico, is a cinder cone rising approximately 1, 200 feet above the surrounding plain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cinder cones are the most common type of volcano in the world. They may look like an idealized depiction of a volcano as they are steep, conical hills that usually have a prominent crater at the top.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cinder cone has steep sides because they sides erode quickly because the pyroclastic material isn’t cemented in very well.
