A magma is injected into a volcano's Plumbing the first thing you see is inflation of the land/volcano surface, this would be accompanied by earthquakes and low frequency harmonic sounds caused by the flow of magma through the volcano's passages (like a Flute). There would then be the release of gasses from the vent (a phreatic eruption) as magma heats ground or surface water. This may then be followed by eruption of magma from the volcano's vent.

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.
What has to happen for arenal volcano to erupt?
Magma has to enter the magma chamber beneath Arenal.
How is a magma chamber formed in a volcano?
Magma rises through fractures from beneath the crust because it is less dense than the surrounding rock. When the magma cannot find a path upwards it pools into a magma chamber. As more magma rises up below it, the pressure in the chamber grows.
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.
Where does the volcano keep the lava?
When lava is underground it is called magma. Magma is generally stored in a magma chamber dome distance beneath the volcano. Periodically, fresh magma may be injected into the magma chamber from the mantle.
Where is magma collected below a volcano?
a magma chamber

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.

Why does a caldera happen?
the roof of the magma chamber collapses forming caldera

What might happen if we injected magma in a volcano?
No human endeavour could make or inject magma into a volcano. The magma found in relation to volcanoes is a natural phenomena.
A chamber underground containing magma?
A magma chamber.
Where is the magma in a volcano?
In a magma chamber
Whats a pool of magma called?
Magma is melted rock, which comes from the Earth's mantle, which is the layer immediately below the crust.
