Relationship between topography and morphology of cinder cones of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). This paper analizes the set of relations between previous topo - graphy and the morphology of basaltic monogenic volcanoes on Tenerife. It establishes relations between the topographical setting and the (lack of ) opening of craters in the 39 ring volcanoes and the 205 horshoe-shaped volcanoes. In both cases, there is a high ratio of correlations (up to 0.95). Some 95% of the ringed volcanoes are located in flat topographical zones (< 10°), whereas some 95% of those open in a horshoe form appear in more abrupt areas. Traditionally, topography has been disregarded as a secondary factor in the shape of volcanoes, but, according to these data, it is a key element that determines the morphology of basaltic monogenic volcanoes.
