The volume of a cinder cone volcano depends on the radius (of the tip and the base) and the height of the volcano. This is expressed in the equation:

\n

$V = \\frac{\\pi h}{3} ({R_1}^2+R_1r_2+{r_2}^2)$

\n

\n

which can also be considered as the expanded form: $V = \\frac{\\pi h {R_1}^2}{3} + \\frac{\\pi h R_1r_2}{3} + \\frac{\\pi h {r_2}^2}{3}$

\n

where;
$V$ = volume ($km^2$)
$R_1$ = radius of the base of the volcano ($km$)
$r_2$ = radius of the volcano at a given height ($km$)
$h$ = height at given volume ($km$)

\n


The above volcano has the following dimensions:

\n\n

 

\n

The notatation $\\frac{\\partial}{\\partial z}$ means the partial derivative with respect to $z$. We treat any other variables as constants and differentiate as normal with respect to $z$. For example, if $b = 7z + 2az^2 +csin(y)$, then $\\frac{\\partial b}{\\partial z} = 7 + 4az$.

The images below are for illustration only and show how the radius at height $h$ affects the overall volume. The graph for the equation to solve volume from radius at a given height is quadratic. It then becomes a linear graph when the first derivative is taken which shows the rate of change of volume with respect to radius. It then becomes a zero order graph when the second derivative is taken, where the rate of change of the rate of change is constant.
