A Magma Chamber is a space (that can change size) at a depth below a volcano in which magma can accumulate prior to an eruption.

A volcanic vent is a conduit connecting the magma chamber to the surface. It is though this that the magma flows during an eruption.

How does volcano differ from magma chamber?

A volcano is a vent or hole in the ground where molten rock and associated gasses erupt. A magma chamber is a chamber underground, often under a volcano, where molten rock is stored.


The order of parts through which magma out of volcano onto the surface?

The order of parts through which magma reaches the surface of a volcano is the magma chamber where it accumulates, followed by the central vent or conduit where it travels upwards, and finally the crater or vent at the surface where it erupts and flows out as lava.


What part of a volcano connects the vent with the magma chamber?

The part of a volcano that connects the vent with the magma chamber is called the "conduit" or "volcanic conduit." This cylindrical passage allows magma to travel from the magma chamber, located beneath the surface, up to the vent, where it can erupt. The conduit plays a crucial role in determining the characteristics of volcanic eruptions.


What connects pools of magma to crater?

A vent tube connects the magma chamber to the vent or crater of the volcano, hence allowing the magma to be released from the volcano and become lava.


What are the three most important parts of a volcano?

When the magma flows down the side of the volcano what is it called?

Actually, the molten rock is called lava. The magma from the magma chamber shoots up the main vent and when the magma reaches the vent, it will turn into lava. After that.. I don't have any idea..


What is an opening that leads from the crater of a volcano down to pools of magma?

A volcanic vent or conduit is an opening that leads from the crater of a volcano down to pools of magma below the surface. This conduit allows magma to travel from the magma chamber to the surface during an eruption.


The three main parts of a volcano are?

The three main parts of a volcano are the magma chamber where molten rock is stored beneath the surface, the vent where lava erupts to the surface, and the crater which is the bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano.


What called the path that magma travels along?

The path that magma travels along beneath Earth's surface is called a magma chamber or a magma conduit. It is a reservoir of molten rock that can lead to volcanic eruptions when pressure builds up and the magma is forced to the surface.


What is it called that connects pool of magma to the crater?

Magma usually refers to molten rock when it is still underground, and a crater is a cup shaped depression in the surface whether in a volcano or not. If a crater were full of molten rock we'd call it lava. It might be fed by a magma pool below the surface.


How is a magma chamber formed in a volcano?

Magma rises through fractures from beneath the crust because it is less dense than the surrounding rock. When the magma cannot find a path upwards it pools into a magma chamber. As more magma rises up below it, the pressure in the chamber grows.


Is it true when an earthquake occurs when magma travels from the magma chamber through the pipe and out through the vent?

This describes a volcanic eruption. Eruptions can be accompanied by earthquakes, and some earthquakes do occur as a result of the movement of magma. However, most earthquakes, as stated above, result from the movement of tectonic plates.
