volcanic cones
Lava-built peaks
Volcanic cones are hill- or mountain-shaped landforms built from material ejected during volcanic eruptions.
The classic cone shape forms as lava, ash, and rock fragments accumulate around a central vent.
Types include cinder cones (loose fragments), spatter cones (molten blobs), and composite cones built from alternating layers: Mount Fuji is one of the world's most symmetrical volcanic cones.
