VOLCANIC LANDFORMS Materials ejecting out from a volcano create a variety of land-forms.

Ash or Cinder Cone. The volcanic material thrown out by volcano cools down quickly in small solid pieces known as cinders. The solid particles are rained down and form a circular cone around the crater. This cone is called cinder cone. The cinder cone is formed after a number of explosions. The average height of a cinder cone is about 300 meters and its side have concave slope. They are termed as central type of volcanoes because eruption takes place through a central hole in the crust connected with the interior through a vertical pipe.
