They erupt with large ejection plumes consisting of sulfuric gasses and lapilli, pyroclastic materials that will eventually make up the sides of the volcano. The sides themselves are very steep, due to the ejecta coming to rest at the steepest angle gravity allows them to. The crater of these volcanoes is usually large for the size of the resulting volcano. The wind direction during the eruption causes the volcano to grow longer on one side. These volcanoes have bene known to also have lava flows from flank eruptions. The eruptions of cinder cone volcanoes have been found to be mostly under a month, with the lava tubes in the volcano becoming plugged with igneous rock. It is rare for a volcano of this type to erupt
