TeachMeFinance.com - explain Spatter Cone　　 Spatter Cone　　 The term 'Spatter Cone　　' as it applies to the area of volcanos can be defined as 'Long-lived basaltic lava fountains that erupt spatter, scoria or cinder, and other tephra from a central vent typically build steep-sided cones called spatter-and-cinder cones. The greatest bulk of these cones consists of spatter, but during fountaining a lava flow usually pours down one side of the cone. Eruptions that build spatter and cinder cones are much longer in duration and much more varied in intensity than those that eject only spatter to build spatter cones and ramparts'.
