Parasitic cone (in foreground) with larger main cone in background, at Piton de la Fournaise volcano on the island of Réunion. A parasitic cone (also adventive cone, satellite cone or lateral cone) is the cone-shaped accumulation of volcanic material not part of the central vent of a volcano. It forms from eruptions from fractures on the flank ...
Mount Scott is a small stratovolcano and a so-called parasitic cone on the southeast flank of Crater Lake in southern Oregon. [4] [5] It is approximately 420,000 years old. [3] Its summit is the highest point within Crater Lake National Park, and the tenth highest peak in the Oregon Cascades. [6]

Mulyeongari Oreum is located on the Mt. Suryeong (sea level attitude : 508m) on the Halla mountain in Jeju island. It is a typical parasitic cone and the mouth of a volcano has a girth of 300m, 40m in depth and 1,000m circumference around the crater.
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 ...
The peak is the remnant of a parasitic cone on the western flank of Mount Mazama, such that when the caldera formed, the eastern half of the Hillman cone disappeared. The peak is composed of lava flows containing pyroxene and hornblende andesites and breccias. [4]
Mount Samat is a parasitic cone of Mount Mariveles with no record of historical eruption. The summit of Mount Samat is 9.2 km (5.7 mi) NNE of the Mariveles caldera. [2] Mount Samat itself has a 550-metre (1,800 ft) wide crater that opens to the northeast.
