What is an opening that leads from the crater of a volcano down to pools of magma?
A volcanic vent or conduit is an opening that leads from the crater of a volcano down to pools of magma below the surface. This conduit allows magma to travel from the magma chamber to the surface during an eruption.
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.
How is a volcano born?
A volcano is born when magma from beneath the Earth's surface rises and collects in a magma chamber. As pressure builds, the magma forces its way to the surface through a vent, resulting in an eruption. Over time, repeated eruptions can build up a volcano's cone shape.
What life is in rock pools?
Rocks contain silicon dioxide and are a compound Above is true. But if the type of rock is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic then it can contain minerals, other rock fragments, and magma.
Different types of tide pools?
Rocky tide pools, sandy tide pools, and artificial tide pools created by humans are some common types. Rocky tide pools are found along rocky coastlines with a diverse array of marine life. Sandy tide pools can be found in areas with sandy beaches and tend to have different species adapted to this habitat. Artificial tide pools are sometimes created in coastal areas for conservation or educational purposes.

What connects pools of magma to crater?
A vent tube connects the magma chamber to the vent or crater of the volcano, hence allowing the magma to be released from the volcano and become lava.

Why do volcanos erupt?
When rock inside the Earth becomes hot enough, it melts. This molten rock, or magma, is less dense than the surrounding solid rock. Just as an object that is less dense than water will float on the water, the relatively low density of the magma causes it to rise to the surface of the Earth. In the most common form of volcanism, the type caused by plate subduction, the magma rises and pools into areas beneath the surface called magma chambers. If the pressure continues to increase on the magma within the chamber, it may eventually breach the surface in an eruption. The eruption ceases when the magma chamber is fully or partially emptied, and the process of filling the chamber will begin again (so the process of eruption may occur again). Fissure eruptions occur as a result of a process of convection in the asthenosphere. Heated rock rises in the mantle, melts from decompression, and fills in the gaps created in the crustal rock at divergent plate boundaries. The mid-ocean ridge, the world's longest mountain range, is created from fissure eruptions.'Hot spot' volcanoes (as in the Hawaiian Island Chain) erupt from a constant stream of molten material from a specific point in the Earth's mantle which remains constant as the plates move slowly across it. Eruptions here will be slow and fairly steady as the source and pressure of the magma is constant.The magma that flows from a chamber may harden to form a "plug" or a dome. This kind of structure may enlarge or be pushed upward when the magma cannot freely flow out. The pressure on these rocks is one factor that is monitored by vulcanologists when forecasting the possibility of another eruption from an existing volcano.Volcanoes erupt because the magma underneath them builds upward, and eventually has enough force to shoot or flow out of the volcano.

What kind of energy powers Old Faithful the geyser?
Geothermal I would say, though I am not an expert on geysers

Where are natural geysers found?
Iceland, they are hot pool OS water,heated by magma under the earths crust, 80percent of homes are heated by geothermal energy from geysers and hot pools in iceland
Does water flow faster in pools or riffles?
Water flows faster in riffles than in pools.
