Cinder Cone Volcanoes are considered to be simple volcanoes. They form when the particles of the lava explode from the opening of the volcano. The lava blows into the air and its cooled pieces return and settle all over the vent. Slowly and gradually, the volcano develops a circular or oval shape in the form of a cone (Keller, 2010).
For the past 35 years, there has been a wide range of European Union (EU) legislation on environmental protection, covering the main areas of nature and biodiversity; integrated pollution control; waste management; air, noise and water pollution; environmental impact assessment; and genetically modified organisms.
