Cinder cones, or, scoria cone are a type of volcano that is a steep conical hill.These volcanoes are found in most places like islands such as Hawaii. They are wide and large and can build up to 400 metres high.
Cinder cone volcanoes have uncommonly seen structures from the outside. It is wide and profile, and it resembles a dish or a hollow saucer that has been turned upside down at the summit. They are a steep conical hill which is made out of loose pyroclastic fragments, volcanic ash cinders and clinkers.

Para 3 - Famous shield volcanoes: One of the most famous and well known shield volcanoes is the Mauna Kea, Hawai’i in Hawaii. The last time Mauna Kea erupted was in 2460 B.C, however, it is not dead yet. Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii is the world's largest shield volcano.
Para 4 - Their eruption progress - Shield volcanoes erupt when water enters their vent, otherwise, they explode when fountains that that forms cinder cones spatter at the vent of the shield volcano. This causes high leveled fluids travel for an incredible speed of time, which can reach up to miles.
Para 5 - Deaths toll of shield volcano eruptions: There are countless numbers of people that has been killed in shield volcanoes. There has been hundreds of thousands of peoples that have died in the eruptions. Once there has been estimated that only around 3,000 people left on earth in one case of explosive eruptions, dating around 69,000 to 77,000 thousand years
