GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A cinder cone (or scoria cone) is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent. The pyroclastic fragments are formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains from a single, typically cylindrical, vent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cinder cones are small volcanoes that consist of volcanic ash, cinders, and other types of tephra that has piled up around a vent. Cinder cones are typically built in a single eruptive period that lasts a few months and that may include the eruption of fluid lava flows from vents located along the base.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stratovolcanoes have relatively steep sides and are more cone-shaped than shield volcanoes. They are formed from viscous, sticky lava that does not flow easily. The lava therefore builds up around the vent forming a volcano with steep sides.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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. Cinders at Capulin Volcano. Cinders are small chunks of scoria.
