Are parasitic cone cinder cone the same?
Parasitic cone volcanos and cinder cone volcanos are not the
same when classifying. Cinder cone volcanos are the most popular
type of volcano, named for its cone shaped formation. Cinder cone
volcano are also considered the smallest type of volcanos and can
stand alone or grow on the flanks of other volcanos. The parasitic
cone volcanos are similar to the cinder cones, however, the volcano
is found on the flanks of other volcanos, hence, the name. It is
created by flank eruptions of larger volcanos.
