GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cinder cone volcanoes erode quickly because they are mostly made of loose pyroclastic material that has accumulated during each eruption. This loose material is much more easy to erode because it is already broken up, rather than solid, hardened lava that needs to be cracked and eroded first.

Detailed explanation-2: -The type of volcano that erodes very quickly is a cinder cone volcano.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cinder cones commonly occur in association with other volcanoes. They may occur within calderas, near volcanic domes, and as satellite cones on the flanks of composite and shield volcanoes. Cinder cones frequently occur in volcanic fields with as many as hundreds of other cinder cones.

Detailed explanation-4: -They form after violent eruptions blow lava fragments into the air, which then solidify and fall as cinders around the volcanic vent. Usually the size of gravel, these cinders are filled with many tiny bubbles trapped in the lava as it solidifies. Cinder cones stand at heights of tens of meters to hundreds of meters.
