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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the hole at the top of a volcano vent called?
Vent .
An opening in earth's crust from which lava flows is a?
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 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.
Where may a carter be formed on a volcano?
A volcano's crater is usually on the top, surrounding the vent.
What is the hollow area at the top of a volcano?
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.

What is a circuler depression around a volcano vent?
A crater

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.
What is the opening of a volcanos called?
The opening of a volcano is called the vent.The opening of a volcano is called a vent.
Central funnel shaped vent at the top a volcano?
A crater
Is a crater the same as a vent?
no. it is a pipe that goes through the volcano.

What is the name of the funnel-shaped opening at the of a volcano?
a funnel shaped vent at the top of a volcano is a crater
What is the vent of a volcano called?
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.
