What do you call the part inside a volcano where magma collects in a pocket?
Lava collects inside a Magma Chamber. "When an erupting volcano empties a shallow-level magma chamber, the edifice of the volcano may collapse into the voided reservoir, thus forming a steep, bowl-shaped depression called a caldera" (Quoted from How Volcanoes Work at http:/wwwzperiodzgeologyzperiodzsdsuzperiodzedu/how_volcanoes_work/Calderaszperiodzhtml)
What does the throat of a volcano do?
The throat of a volcano is the passageway that connects the magma chamber to the surface. It allows magma, gases, and ash to be expelled during an eruption. The shape and size of the throat can influence how explosive an eruption may be.
What are the three status of a volcano and what do they mean?
The Volcano has a huge structure below it. The molten rock deep within it is called Magma. A subsidiary volcano may form from the main body, this is called a Parasitic cone. Some times some volcanic materials may seep out near the volcano, this opening is called Vent. The molten rock erupting from the Volcano is called Lava. The mouth of the volcano is called Crater. The highest point of a volcanic mountain is called Summit while the underground passage of magma is called Conduit. The Channel through which lava is ejected out is called the Throat. Ash or fragments of rocks and lava are what is blasted out forming Ash clouds due to the explosion
How does magma go into a volcano?
Being a less dense liquid, it rises toward the surface, seeking the path of least resistance. The volcano is simply a structure created by the rising magma and the surface features of its lava.
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.

The main lava chamber in the neck of a volcano?
Yes, technically... But specifically, lava is surfaced magma, and magma is basically unsurfaced lava........ Magma chamber is the correct terminology, but the MAGMA chamber is located Bottom center of the volcano, close to the asthenosphere and lithospheres. THIS QUESTION ANSWERED BY THE SCI_GUIDE

What is The liquid part of the core of a volcano?
magma
What does magma and crust have alike?
it is part of a volcano
What this is the part volcano where magma is stored is known as?
vent
How many parts are on volcano?
There are so many different parts that are on volcano. Some of the main ones include ash cloud, vent, crater, magma, lava and so much more.
What is the term for the circular depression at the summit of the volcano?
The term for the circular depression at the summit of a volcano is called a "caldera." It is formed by the collapse of the central part of the volcano after a massive eruption has emptied the magma chamber beneath it. Calderas can vary in size and shape depending on the volcano.
What were the causes of eruption from the volcano in Iceland?
From Scientific American:"When a part of the earth's upper mantle or lower crust melts, magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate:the buoyancy of the magma,the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma andthe injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber."You can read more about the process, below.
