Volcanic cones are among the simplest
volcanic landforms. They are built by
ejecta from a
volcanic vent, piling up around the vent in the shape of a
cone with a central crater. Volcanic cones are of different types, depending upon the nature and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption. Types of volcanic cones include stratocones, spatter cones, tuff cones, and
cinder cones.
