A volcano can mean a vent or a?
caldera :P
What is the largest volcanic vent in the world?
The Yellowstone caldera.
What large landform is usually made up of a vent magma chamber and lava?
Caldera.
What is the hollow area at the top of a volcano?
A concave hollow is a crater. In a dormant volcano, the empty magma pit is called a caldera.
What is the slope of the mount st helens?
When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava is a liquid at temperatures from 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F). Over time the temperate will decrease as it moves away from the source.

It is called a crater

What is the hole called that is caused by the explosion or collapse of the centre of a volcano?
The hole that is formed by the eruption or collapse of the central vent of a volcano is called a caldera. A caldera is typically much larger in size compared to the original volcanic crater and can be several kilometers in diameter.
How does a crater differ from a caldera?
A crater is at the top of the central vent in most volcanoes and is funnel-shaped, and is already made, a caldera is a magma chamber that supplied material to the volcano until it empties and the roof collapses.
What is the cuplike hollow around the vent of a volcano?
The central depression is called a crater, or more technically a "caldera."
Why did Mount St Helens erupt sideways?
The lateral blast of Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980 was caused by a moderate earthquake that caused the north flank of the volcano to give way. This did cause the pressure that had been built to explosively release in a northern direction instead of the traditional vertical explosive eruption.
What steep sided usually circular depression formed by either explosion or collapse at a volcanic vent?
This is known as a caldera or a crater.
What is a circular depression formed by an explosion or a collapse at a volcanic vent?
The rare phenomenon you're talking about is called a calderas.Caldera is the term given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse into the earth.
