A crater can also be called a vent, and it is the funnel shaped opening at the top of a volcano which allows magma to escape as lava. The magma chamber is the hollow deep within the volcano which is supposedly linked to the core of the planet, bringing up molten rock from the middle of earth to be taken up the vent tube of the volcano to be released to the air.

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.
The order of parts through which magma out of volcano onto the surface?
The magma starts out in the magma chamber, pressure pushes it up into the pipe, then the vent, and then it comes out of the crater.
What are the main features of volcanoes?
magma lava
What is a large bowl shaped formation that ocurrs when the top of a volcano falls into the magma chamber?
It Is a crater
When magma re-enters a magma chamber causing the floor of the caldera or crater to lift the resulting structure is called a?
It is called a resurgent dome.

What connects pools of magma to crater?
A vent tube connects the magma chamber to the vent or crater of the volcano, hence allowing the magma to be released from the volcano and become lava.

The magma starts out in the magma chamber, pressure pushes it up into the pipe, then the vent, and then it comes out of the crater.
What does volcanoes have?
volcanoes have a crater,lava tube, magma chamber and poisonous gasses
What is it called that connects pool of magma to the crater?
Magma usually refers to molten rock when it is still underground, and a crater is a cup shaped depression in the surface whether in a volcano or not. If a crater were full of molten rock we'd call it lava. It might be fed by a magma pool below the surface.
What are the main features of volcanoes?
magma lava
What is the difference between a crater and a caldera?
A caldera is a large depression formed at the summit of a volcano, left behind by the excavation of magma. A crater is formed by an explosion or impact.

It Is a crater
When magma re-enters a magma chamber causing the floor of the caldera or crater to lift the resulting structure is called a?
It is called a resurgent dome.
The three main parts of a volcano are?
Three parts of a volcano are the base, the flank, and the vent. Some additional parts include the sill, the crater, the summit, and the cone.
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties and causes the ground to sink?
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties is called a caldera. It is a large volcanic crater made from the collapse of a volcano's mouth.
What type of volcanic event occurs when a large amount of water comes in contact with a magma chamber?
a crater lake forms
