Cinders are a type of pyroclastic material.
Puu Puai, shown in this photo, is a cinder cone that formed during the 1959 eruption at Kilauea Iki Crater . Tradewinds blew the tephra to the southwest, where it accumulated to form the cinder cone. Puu Puai is visible from Crater Rim Drive and from Devastation Trail. Photograph by J.D. Griggs, U.S. Geological Survey, June 30, 1984. Puu Oo is a cinder and spatter cone created by fountaining eruptions from 1983-1986.
