Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cinder cones are the only subaerial volcanoes that are typically formed from a single eruption and have a cone-shaped pile of tephra as the primary feature. Stratovolcanoes are larger and have a more complex shape with layers of lava and ash, while shield volcanoes are more broad and have lava flows as the primary feature. Fissure volcanoes are long cracks in the ground that can produce extensive lava flows but do not typically have a cone-shaped pile of tephra.
