[edit] Merging pyroclastic cone into cinder cone
The terms pyroclastic cone and cinder cone seem to be exactly the same thing [1]. --Hardscarf (talk) 21:31, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- A pyroclastic cone can be either a tuff cone or a cinder cone. I think there's a useful distinction there, enough to be worth keeping the three separate categories (Category:Pyroclastic cones, Category:Cinder cones, and Category:Tuff cones). I don't see as much need for a separate article on pyroclastic cones, since there's not much to say beyond my first sentence above. -- Avenue (talk) 10:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
There's a more general article at volcanic cone. hike395 (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
