A cinder cone volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments. These fragments, called cinders or scoria, are expelled during violent eruptions and then accumulate around the vent, forming a steep-sided cone shape.
Lapilli--Lapilli is pyroclastics the size of walnuts.Cinders-- Cinders are a type of pyroclastic material the size of a pea. According to the text, Earth An Introduction to Physical Geology, Cinders come in different forms when "ejected lava blobs are pulverized by the escaping gases".Blocks-- Blocks are particles larger than Lapilli's and are formed by harden lava.Bombs-- Bombs too help to produce blocks, but they are ejected as lava. They take on an streamline shape. They usually tend to fall on the slopes of a cone volcano and they can be ejected far from the volcano due to the force of escaping gasesI answered this earlier but this is a better answer ;)
False. The largest fragments that erupt from a volcano are called volcanic bombs, not cinders. Volcanic bombs are typically larger than 64 mm in diameter and are formed when semi-molten lava is ejected during an explosive volcanic eruption.
Bombs. These are ejected during volcanic eruptions and cool into aerodynamic shapes while still airborne before landing on the ground.

These sorts of ejecta are sometimes called 'bombs'.

A vent in the Earth's crust from which lava and other materials are ejected is called a volcano.
They are called fragments, fragments.

Rock that is ejected from a volcano and cools is called volcanic rock or lava rock. This type of rock typically has a fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.
These materials are called pyroclastic materials. They are produced during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma is fragmented into rock fragments and ash by the force of the explosion. Pyroclastic materials can vary in size from tiny particles of ash to large blocks and boulders.
When a volcano erupts, it can release a variety of materials such as ash, rock fragments, lava, gases, and pyroclastic flows. The specific material that bursts out of a volcano depends on the type of eruption and the composition of the magma.
