A volcano has a giant crater instead of a peak at the top and steep, sloping sides. What kind of volcano is this likely describing?
Tap to reveal answer
This type of volcano is called a cinder cone volcano. Unlike a composite volcano or a shield volcano, a cinder cone volcano is characterized by a missing chunk near the top. This crater is a result of violent explosions followed by the falling of large quantities of debris and ash.
