Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Cinder cones are small, steep-sided volcanoes, and are made up of particles resembling cinders. They form when pyroclastic materials accumulate around a vent from which they erupted. Many have a large, bowl-shaped crater, and if they issue any lava flows, they usually break through the base or lower flanks of the mountains.
