What is the definition of a volcano magma chamber?

A volcano magma chamber is a large underground reservoir that holds molten rock (magma). It is a key component of a volcano's plumbing system and acts as a storage unit for magma before it is eventually erupted to the surface. The magma chamber is typically located beneath the volcano and can vary in size and shape.


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.
