CoachA cone-shaped hill that throws out magma is called a volcanic cone or a cinder cone. This type of volcano is characterized by its steep sides and small size. When magma is ejected from a cinder cone volcano, it often forms cinders and ash that accumulate around the vent, building up the cone shape.

What are conical hill?

They are often found in areas with sedimentary rock and can vary in size from small mounds to prominent peaks. Conical hills are a common feature in landscapes shaped by natural processes such as wind, water, and glaciation.
