When a secondary vent opens on a volcano the name can depend based on the type of eruption as well as the type of volcano. If a Shield Volcano has a secondary vent eruption it is called a rift eruption. This is demonstrated in the current eruption on Kileaua volcano in Hawaii. In a stratovolcano a secondary vent can either be a rift vent, or a cinder cone. This depends on the nature of the eruption. If it is a moderate explosive eruption with minor lava effusion than it would develope into a cinder cone, while if it is a constant lava spatter it would be deemed a rift zone eruption. There are several other minor terms of events, however they are extremely rare and are associated with both of these types of eruptions.

What rock is formed inside a volcano?
according to my science class, its igneous rock. igneous rock is formed when magma/lava cools. if it cools slowly, it is conglomerate (coarse-grained or heavily grained..chunky.) if it cools fastly, it is fine grained (smooth.) i hope this helps!
When the magma flows down the side of the volcano what is it called?
Actually, the molten rock is called lava. The magma from the magma chamber shoots up the main vent and when the magma reaches the vent, it will turn into lava. After that.. I don't have any idea..
