a crater is the opening at the top of a volcano. Vents are the openings that sometimes come at the sides of the volcano because there may be alot of magma in the volcano and it needs to come out somehow. so it sort of pressurizes the side of the volcano until it breaks through to make an opening. the opening is called a vent.
