The answer is scoria cone. Scoria Cone Volcano is also known as cinder cone. Some scoria cones are not accompanied by a lava flow and vice versa. Some lava flows squeeze out near the base of the scoria cone. Approximately of scoria is commonly composed of 50% silica and 10% calcium oxide and lesser contents of potash and soda.
