What does a side vent of a volcano do?
A vent on the side of a volcano is known as a satellite vent, this can be seen in both Kilauea as well as around Mt. Shasta. These vents are caused by the volcano often times having a plug of some kind at the summit, or for reasons we don't fully understand yet, there is another reason that it is easier for the magma to escape through a satellite vent versus the summit.
What is a smaller structure formed on the side of a volcano?
The parasitic cone is the name of the smaller vent-structure on the side of some volcanoes. This structure is not part of the central vent of a volcano.
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 volcano called when it has wide flat sides?
It is called a side vent.
What is a vent or opening through which volcanic gases and smoke are realeased?
This is known as a volcanic vent.Gas and lava exit a volcano are through a volcanic vent or fissure and cool rapidly at the surface. Eruptions can be fluid or explosive.
What does secondary cone mean in a volcano?
A secondary cone in a volcano refers to a smaller cone that forms on the flank of the main volcano. This secondary cone is created by the eruption of lava and other volcanic materials from a separate vent. It is a distinct feature from the central vent of the main volcano.

Where would you find the vent of a volcano?
You find them on the side of a volcano.
What is a side vent in a volcano?
It's a Lateral vent pretty much
What is a secondary vent?
a secondary vent is a vent or tube that connects to the secondary cone for the lava to flow.
Imagine a volcano with only one vent what change might cause a second vent to appear on the side of the volcano?

When lava is forced out 1 side of a volcano what is that called?
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.

Is a crater the same as a vent?
no. it is a pipe that goes through the volcano.
