Best Answer

Acid lava cones are smaller and much steeper than ash/cinder cones. Acid lava cones are almost convex in shape and are formed due to thick lava that does not flow freely and cools before reaching very far. This gives in the conical 'dumpy' shape. While ash and cinder cones are more symmetrical and concave in shape. They are formed due to volcanic lava or volcanic bombs (of solidified lava) that was shot up in the air, cool and hardened and broke up into tiny pieces (of ash or cinders) before coming back down to the earth's surface.

Basaltic. There is more gas content than in most basaltic magma so that when a cinder cone erupts, The pressure builds up and makes the eruption somewhat explosive. Tephra, or dried lava/magma, is shot up, and joined to the volcano making it larger.
