A cinder cone or cinder volcano is a steep hill of volcanic debris that gradually builds up from a volcanic vent. It can be on the slope of a larger stratavolcano or shield volcano.

Mount Etna is a composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano. These types of volcanoes are made up of layers of ash, lava, and volcanic rocks. They are characterized by explosive eruptions and a conical shape due to alternating flows of lava and pyroclastic materials.
Cinder cone volcanoes can be found in a number of areas with different climates. Climate does not affect the formation of volcanoes.
Cinder is a kind of volcano...a steep and active volcano :D
the three volcanoes are: composite volcano, shield volcano, and cinder cone :)
The main types of volcano formations are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), cinder cone volcanoes, and calderas. Each type has distinct characteristics based on their eruption style and the type of materials they release.
no, a shield volcano is.
Some cinder cone volcanoes in the Philippines are Musuan, or Calayao Volcano, and Mayon Volcano.

Cinder cone volcano
Composite volcanoes are bigger than cinder cone volcanoes, but not shield volcanoes. With the possible exception of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest volcanoe on earth is Mauna Loa, a shild volcano that makes up most of the island of Hawaii. The largest known volcano anywhere is Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars.
Here is a good article outlining the major types of volcanic eruptions, including diagrams:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_volcanic_eruptions
