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.

What is the cavity where magma is stored under a volcano called?
This is called the magma chamber.
A chamber underground containing magma?
A magma chamber.
When does a volcanic eruption end?
When the magma chamber is no longer pressurised. Note, this does not mean that the magma chamber can not refill and cause another eruption later. Thus there is a difference between the termination of an eruption and a volcano becoming extinct (ceasing to have any more eruptions ever).
How does the magma chamber work?
Magma Chamber: underground pocket of molten rock
What is the difference between outer magma and lava?
the difference is that outer magma is outside, and lava is inside.

What temperature is magma when it comes into the magma chamber?
Most often between 700 and 1300 degrees C..
Where is the magma in a volcano?
In a magma chamber

What is the difference between outer magma and lava?

Does magma collect underground in magma chambers?
Magma is less dense than rock and is buoyant due to this density difference. It will seek out any weaknesses in the rock above it to reach the surface.
What is the difference between crater and magma chamber?
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 a magma reservoir?
A Magma Reservoir is a Magma Chamber so to speak. It is an underground cavity containing molten rock, esp. below a volcano.
How does magma chamber differ from a vent?
A Magma Chamber is a space (that can change size) at a depth below a volcano in which magma can accumulate prior to an eruption. A volcanic vent is a conduit connecting the magma chamber to the surface. It is though this that the magma flows during an eruption.
Where is magma collected below a volcano?
a magma chamber
