A tuff cone, sometimes called an ash cone, is a small monogenetic volcanic cone produced by phreatic (hydrovolcanic) explosions directly associated with magma brought to the surface through a conduit from a deep-seated magma reservoir. They are characterized by high rims that have a maximum relief of 100–800 meters (330–2,620 ft) above the ...

Such cinder cones likely represent the final stages of activity of a mafic volcano. [11] However, most volcanic cones formed in Hawaiian-type eruptions are spatter cones rather than cinder cones, due to the fluid nature of the lava. [12] The most famous cinder cone, Paricutin, grew out of a corn field in Mexico in 1943 from a new vent. [3]
Cinder Cone is in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Cinder Cone is a 700 ft (210 m)-high volcanic cone of loose scoria. [5] The youngest mafic volcano in the Lassen volcanic center, [6] it is surrounded by unvegetated block lava and has concentric craters at its summit, [5] which have diameters of 1,050 ft (320 m) and 590 ft (180 m).

Puʻu ʻŌʻō is a cinder/spatter cone in the eastern rift zone of the Kīlauea volcano of the Hawaiian Islands. Puʻu ʻŌʻō has been erupting continuously since January 3, 1983, making it the longest-lived rift-zone eruption of the last two centuries.
Vulcan's Throne is a cinder cone volcano and a prominent landmark on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, United States. [4] The volcano is adjacent the Colorado River, (thousands of feet above the river) as it is the source material for Lava Falls and Lava Falls Rapids (Vulcan Rapids) one of the largest rapids of the Colorado.
The volcano partly overlaps with two older volcanoes, Baruta and Shaheru, and is also surrounded by hundreds of small volcanic cinder cones from flank eruptions. [citation needed] Nyiragongo's cone consists of pyroclastics and lava flows. [6] Nyiragongo's lavas are low-silica, alkali-rich, ultramafic extrusive rocks essentially free of feldspars.
