The lava from dome volcanoes is a thick lava that forms cones shaped like steep domes. The cinder cone volcano can be explosive also. Their cones are formed from cinders, which are a small, jagged pieces of rock, and ash. When a cinder cone volcano erupts, these small cinders are scattered all over. The Paricutin volcano in Mexico is a cinder cone volcano.
Most volcanoes are stratovolcanoes .
They are more active than shield volcanoes, but not as explosive as the cinder cone or the dome volcanoes. They are built in layers of lava, cinder and ashes. Mount Fuji in Japan is a stratovolcano. Volcanoes are different sizes and shapes. Many volcanoes are shaped like cones.
