What is a vent in the earths crust from which lava and other materials are ejected called?
A vent in the Earth's crust from which lava and other materials are ejected is called a volcano.
What happens When the lava stops erupting out of the central vent what is left at the top?
When lava stops erupting out of the central vent, it solidifies and forms a volcanic rock structure called a volcanic plug or volcanic dome at the top of the vent. These structures can vary in size and shape depending on the type of lava that was erupted and the eruption style.
Opening in Earth's crust through which magma flows?
lava
Does a cinder cone produce lava flows?
Yes, cinder cones can produce lava flows. Typically, these flows are relatively short and are composed of basaltic lava. Cinder cones are formed from the accumulation of volcanic cinders and ash around a central vent.
What is the definition of a side vent in a volcano?
A side vent in a volcano is a smaller opening located on the flanks of the main volcanic cone or crater. Side vents can release lava, gases, and ash during volcanic eruptions, providing additional pathways for volcanic activity to occur.
Lava erupts from what part of the volcano?
The magma chamber is where the lava begins the eruption process.
What is the place in a volcano where lava comes to the surface?
It is called a vent.
What is the hole called when lava comes out of it?
Do you mean the hole it comes out of the ground through? That is a volcano. More likely, you mean the hole made when the lava starts to cool and the liquid part inside can suddenly run out. That is a lava tube.
What does the vent do for the volcano?
The vent of a volcano is the opening through which molten rock and volcanic gases are expelled during an eruption. It allows pressure to be released from within the volcano, helping to prevent explosive eruptions. Additionally, the vent is a key feature for scientists to monitor volcanic activity and predict potential eruptions.
What is a secondary vent?
a secondary vent is a vent or tube that connects to the secondary cone for the lava to flow.
What is an area covered by lava as it pours from a vent?
An area covered by lava as it pours from a vent is a lava flow.
Magma that leaves a volcano vent is called?
It is called lava
Area that is covered by lava as it pours out of a vent?
lava flow
An opening in earth's crust from which lava flows is a?
Crater or vent. Sometimes lava also comes from fissures as well. However crater is the most commonly used term.
Volcanic steam vent?
Lava
Opening where the lava flows?
the opening where the lava flows is call a vent
What do you call the opennings of volcanoes?
The magma (lava) chamber goes up a conduit (pipe) until it hits the throat (top) of the volcano. In which the lava comes out the vent. Lava can also come out of a branch pipe off the conduit. Lava can come off a side vent. Depending on what type of volcano it is. The top of the volcano can leave different sizes of craters.
