The flank of a volcano is the ridge at the top opening of the volcano that was created by lava deposits during eruption,æ Volcano flanks are very unstable and can contain vertical fractures which make them dangerous to study.
the flank on a volcano are the sides of the mound or mountain
The side or rear of the area where magma flow would be.
A flank.
This is known as an atoll.
An eruption from the side of a volcano is called a lateral eruption. This usually happens at rift zones where a volcano breaks apart. It is also called a flank eruption. If the volcano is explosive, it may also be called a lateral blast.

Mt. Etna of eastern Sicily is an active volcano. In fact, it is the largest active volcano in all of Europe.Yes - Mount Etna is classed as active. It's last eruption was in 2014 - when a 'flank eruption' started. A flank eruption means that lava flowed out from the side of eh cone - instead of the main vent at the summit.
A flank.
The flank is the side of the volcano (as distinct from the top, where the eruption emerges).
No, it is not. It is a stratovolcano (synonym = composite volcano). There is a small cinder cone though on its south flank.

Kilauea started erupting from a new rift zone on the south flank of the volcano. This created massive lava flows, covered forests, roads and made new land at sea.
Lake Nyos is a crater lake located in the Northwest region of Cameroon. It is a deep lake high on the flank of the inactive volcano in the oku volcanic plain along the Cameroon line of volcanic activity.
That depends on how you define "biggest". If it is by area, then it is and unanswerable question. If it is by eruption magnitude, then it is probably Hekla. the largest volcano is seemingly Askja.
