What is the tunnel that lava travels to reach the top of the volcano called?
The tunnel through which lava travels to reach the surface of a volcano is called a volcanic conduit. It is a passage that connects the magma chamber below the volcano to the vent at the surface. The lava moves through this conduit under pressure before erupting onto the surface.
What is the tube that lava travels through?
It travels through a "Pipe" and explodes out the "Vent", or possibly the "Side Vent", and another world for the hole at the top is the Crater.
What is the vent of a volcano called?
The vent of a volcano is called the crater. It is the opening at the top of the volcano through which lava, ash, and gases are expelled during an eruption.
What do you call the hole on top of a volcano through which lava flows?
It is called a crater.
Why doesnt the type of eruption that produce a lava plateau produce a volcanic mountain instead?
first lava flows out of several long cracks in an area. the thin runny lava travels far before cooling and solidifying. again and again floods of lava flow on top of earlier floods. After millions of years these layers of lava can form high plateaus!
Does the Earth's surface turn to ash when a volcanoe erupts?
Yes. When a volcano erupts, the top of it blows off. The lava spits out the top and it travels down the side. When the lava hits the ground, over the years it turns to ash and mabe 10 years later, it turns into a black, powdery dirt.
What is the tunnel that magma goes through to reach the top of a volcano called?
The tunnel that magma goes through to reach the top of a volcano is called a conduit. This conduit is often a vertical pipe-like structure that connects the magma chamber beneath the volcano to the surface.
What happens when the lava reaches the top of the volcano?
Lava at the top of a volcano will generally flow downhill.
How are lava form?
Lava is molten rock. The rock deep inside the earths mantle is always molten, and when it occasionally breaks through to the surface, the opening is called a volcano, and the liquid rock spilling out of the top is lava.
Why is the lava at the top of lamp?
The lava lamp's lamp at the top is because the heat source at the base causes the lava to heat up and rise to the top due to its lower density. As the lava cools down, it sinks back towards the base, completing the cycle.
What happens to lava when a volcano erupt?
lava shoots out of the top
What forms as result of lava that has cooled at the top of a volcano?
When lava cools at the top of a volcano, it forms igneous rocks such as basalt or andesite. These rocks can sometimes create formations like lava domes or hardened lava flows.
