Figure 9. Cinder cone alignments can form along faults in a variety of geometries. (A) cones can be aligned along the fault trace or at the intersections of two faults, (B) cones can be offset laterally from the fault as a function of fault dip, which controls the distance from the fault trace the ascending dike will break out of the fault zone; (C) cones can form an en echelon array along the fault trace.
