What is the cavity where magma is stored under a volcano called?
This is called the magma chamber.
A chamber underground containing magma?
A magma chamber.
What do you call the part inside a volcano where magma collects in a pocket?
Lava collects inside a Magma Chamber. "When an erupting volcano empties a shallow-level magma chamber, the edifice of the volcano may collapse into the voided reservoir, thus forming a steep, bowl-shaped depression called a caldera" (Quoted from How Volcanoes Work at http:/wwwzperiodzgeologyzperiodzsdsuzperiodzedu/how_volcanoes_work/Calderaszperiodzhtml)
What is a magma reservoir?
A Magma Reservoir is a Magma Chamber so to speak. It is an underground cavity containing molten rock, esp. below a volcano.
What is the difference between magma and magma chamber?
Magma is molten or partially molten rock beneath the earth's surface. A magma chamber is a space, often beneath a volcano, where magma collects.

How does magma chamber differ from a vent?
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.

A synonym for magma chamber is basalt cavity. Synonyms for magma is lava, ashes, scoria, slag, coulee, and obsidian.
Which is the molten rock that you can find underground chamber?
The molten material that you find in the magma chamber is the magma itself.
What is the definition of a volcano magma chamber?
A volcano magma chamber is a large underground reservoir that holds molten rock (magma). It is a key component of a volcano's plumbing system and acts as a storage unit for magma before it is eventually erupted to the surface. The magma chamber is typically located beneath the volcano and can vary in size and shape.
Where does magma come from?
It comes from the Magma Chamber in the bottom of the volcano. :)
