A volcano is a geologic formation from which molten rocks (lava) and hot gases emerge onto the surface of the planet. Typically a volcano is a mountain from which molten material is emitted. It can also be a simple fissure in Earth's surface, which will over time develop as a mound or mountain (after lava cools down and deposits). A volcano is connected to the magma chamber under the surface of Earth. This chamber has molten rocks which flow out from the volcano. The actual outflow of the lava takes place from one or more openings, known as the vents. There is usually a primary vent and many smaller vents. Lava emerges from the vents and flows outwards. Over time it cools down and deposits, forming other parts of the volcano.
Vent .
Crater or vent. Sometimes lava also comes from fissures as well. However crater is the most commonly used term.
The three main parts of a volcano are the magma chamber where molten rock is stored beneath the surface, the vent where lava erupts to the surface, and the crater which is the bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano.
A volcano's crater is usually on the top, surrounding the vent.
The hollow area at the top of a volcano is known as the crater. It is a bowl-shaped depression where volcanic activity occurs, such as eruptions, gas emissions, and lava flows. Craters can vary in size and depth depending on the type of volcano.

A crater
The three main parts of a volcano are the magma chamber where molten rock is stored beneath the surface, the vent where lava erupts to the surface, and the crater which is the bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano.
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.
The opening of a volcano is called the vent.The opening of a volcano is called a vent.
A crater
no. it is a pipe that goes through the volcano.
A volcano's crater is usually on the top, surrounding the vent.
The hollow area at the top of a volcano is known as the crater. It is a bowl-shaped depression where volcanic activity occurs, such as eruptions, gas emissions, and lava flows. Craters can vary in size and depth depending on the type of volcano.
a funnel shaped vent at the top of a volcano is a crater
The vent of a volcano is called the crater. It is the opening at the top of the volcano through which lava, ash, and gases are expelled during an eruption.
