Final answer:

Mt. Fuji, Japan, is not a classic cinder cone volcano but a stratovolcano. Paricutin in Mexico is an example of a classic cinder cone volcano.


Step-by-step explanation:

False.

Mt. Fuji, Japan, is actually considered a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, not a classic cinder cone volcano. A stratovolcano is characterized by a steep-sided cone shape and a composite of alternating layers of lava and ash.

An example of a classic cinder cone volcano is Paricutin in Mexico, which is a simple, symmetrical cone formed by the eruption of cinders and other loose volcanic material.
