What are the characteristics of a cinder cone?​

Cinder cones derive their name from their steep sides, which give them a cone-like appearance. The angle of their slopes may be as steep as 35 degrees, although older, eroded cones have softer slopes. Cinder cones are small compared to other types of volcanoes. They average 100 to 400 meters in height (325 to 1,300 feet), while composite volcanoes may reach 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) and shield volcanoes can range as high as 8,500 meters (28,000 feet) -- the height of Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the world's largest, as measured from the ocean floor to its top. Most cinder cones are monogenetic, which means they erupt only once. Their eruptions tend to be relatively weak compared to those of larger volcanoes. Cinder cones often form as parasite cones along the flanks of larger volcanoes. They are formed by Strombolian eruptions, when gas forces steaming lava upwards into the air. The lava cools and falls to the earth as pebbles, which build up around the vent that ejected them, forming a cone. These parasite types of cone volcanoes usually occur in groups. Shifts in the position of the vent result in twin cinder cones. Variations in the power of eruption create nested cones. Not all cinder cones are found in groups; some are separate entities formed on basaltic lava fields.

Answer:

Cinder cones are characterized by a circular cone of hardened lava, ash and tephra around a single vent. The cone is formed when volcanic material fragments and falls to the ground after being ejected into the air from the vent. Fragmented ash and lava build a cone around the vent as they cool and harden.

topjm [15]

Answer:

C. Sprout every year, year after year

Explanation:

The perennial plants are the plants that live for more then two years, thous some may argue that they are plants that live more then three years. Whichever the case, they are not short-lived plants, but are capable of surviving for numerous years, unlike the annuals and biennials. Theoretically, the shrubs and trees would fall into this category, but they are classified separately, and this term is not used for them, but for smaller plants that do not have or have very little woody parts. These plants tend to sprout every year, and even though they seemingly die in the autumn, their roots are alive, and they emerge and grow again in the spring, sprouting again. That process repeats itself for numerous years.
