Best Answer

The magma (lava) chamber goes up a conduit (pipe) until it hits the throat (top) of the volcano. In which the lava comes out the vent. Lava can also come out of a branch pipe off the conduit. Lava can come off a side vent. Depending on what type of volcano it is. The top of the volcano can leave different sizes of craters.

The opening at the top of a volcano is called a vent and is where lava flows from erupting volcanoes. Volcanic vents usually sit inside craters, which are circular depressions in the ground.
