Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Figure 4.22 shows that cinder cones are formed by the eruption of basaltic and andesitic magma. Rhyolitic magmas erupt as explosive pyroclastic flows and form larger volcanic structures such as calderas or stratovolcanoes. Dacitic magmas can also form stratovolcanoes or lava domes, but not typically cinder cones. Therefore, option C is the best choice as it accurately describes the types of magma that form cinder cones.
