Volcanoes have always interested humans, they are responsible for a number of climatic changes and very so often they also cause the phenomenon known as the blue moon.
We have been studying volcanoes for a long time now and in order to study them in a more organized fashion, they are divided into certain categories. One such category of volcanoes is the cinder cone volcanoes.
We know a lot about volcanoes and how they are made, but when we go to the very basic level (that is the formation of a volcano) there are still so many things not known to us. A volcano in the most general term is simply a mountain. The only difference is, at the bottom of it, there is a molten pool of lava. Mountains very often don't have that and hence there is no question of eruption there. Volcanoes are just mountains which are situated on the top of a molten rock matter, which can also be called lava. Generally, volcanoes don't erupt just randomly. It takes time and pressure for the volcano to omit the molten lava.
We have both active and nonactive volcanoes on earth. Although on surface-level both these are volcanoes, they are very different from one another. An active volcano can be said to be a tragedy waiting to happen. It can take 10 years or a century for it to burst out and omit lava. Whereas volcanic eruptions are not supposed to happen when it comes to inactive volcanoes. Many people still choose to live near active volcanoes, the reason being there is so much these larger volcanoes offer. An active volcano present on the earth's surface provides the richest soil that can be found on earth for farming. The volcanic ash is wonderful for farming and growing even the most difficult crops. These volcanoes get their lava from the earth's crust. Once the lava explodes during any explosive eruptions, the aftermath of it leaves us with many valuable stones. There are some stones that can only be obtained from volcanoes and they are very expensive as well.
Volcanic ash might be good for crops but it's definitely not good for humans once inhaled. Let's explore some more cinder cone facts.
Rock fragments and other kind of small fragments together work in order to form a cone-shaped opening and a structure which we call the cinder cones. Let's discover more about the composition of a cinder-cone volcano.
Cinder cones are formed on an already existing volcano and generally they are found near other volcanoes.
A number of volcanic cones are found near the famous crater lake. They are indeed different from other volcanoes around as they are formed from lava.
