What Wikipedia says

A cinder cone or scoria cone is a steep, conical landform of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic ash, clinkers, or scoria, that has been built around a volcanic vent. The pyroclastic fragments are formed by explosive eruptions or tall Hawaiian-style lava fountains from a single, typically cylindrical, vent.
