Parasitic cone

It forms from eruptions from fractures on the flank of the volcano.

Eventually, the fractures reach the magma chamber and generate eruptions called flank eruptions, which, in turn, produce a parasitic cone.

[1] A parasitic cone can also be formed from a dike or sill cutting up to the surface from the central magma chamber in an area different from the central vent.

[2] A peculiar example of multiple parasitic cones is Jeju Island in South Korea.

Jeju features 368 "oreums" (Korean: 오름; "mount"), which lie in a roughly lateral line on either side of the island's central dormant shield volcano Hallasan.
