The Slopes of Most Cinder Cones Are Usually About 30

question 17

Multiple Choice

The slopes of most cinder cones are usually about 30 degrees because ________.

• A)the loose materials ejected from the cone form slopes at the angle of repose
• B)cinder cones are mostly basalt and basalt is too weak to maintain a slope greater than 30 degrees
• C)they are composites of loose material and lava and the viscosity of the lava requires the slopes to form at about 30 degrees
• D)The statement is false; most cinder cones have slopes less than 10 degrees because of the low viscosity of basalt lava flows.
