What does a side vent of a volcano do?
A vent on the side of a volcano is known as a satellite vent, this can be seen in both Kilauea as well as around Mt. Shasta. These vents are caused by the volcano often times having a plug of some kind at the summit, or for reasons we don't fully understand yet, there is another reason that it is easier for the magma to escape through a satellite vent versus the summit.

When lava is forced out 1 side of a volcano what is that called?
When a secondary vent opens on a volcano the name can depend based on the type of eruption as well as the type of volcano. If a Shield Volcano has a secondary vent eruption it is called a rift eruption. This is demonstrated in the current eruption on Kileaua volcano in Hawaii. In a stratovolcano a secondary vent can either be a rift vent, or a cinder cone. This depends on the nature of the eruption. If it is a moderate explosive eruption with minor lava effusion than it would develope into a cinder cone, while if it is a constant lava spatter it would be deemed a rift zone eruption. There are several other minor terms of events, however they are extremely rare and are associated with both of these types of eruptions.
