Volcano

• Summit is the highest point or the apex of the volcano
• At the summit, there is an opening called vent
• Slopes are the sides or flanks of a volcano that radiate from the main or central vent
• Base is the lower outer part of the volcano
• Magma Chamber is a region beneath the vent of a volcano where molten rock or magma is deposited or stored before eruption
• Main Vent is the main opening or outlet on the surface of a volcano that emits lava, gases, ash or other volcanic materials
• Conduit is an underground central tube-like or pipe-like structure of a volcano that connects the magma chamber to the crater through which the magma travels
• Side Vent is a smaller outlet through which magma escapes
• Crater is the mouth of the volcano which is a funnel-shaped or bowl-shaped hollow at the top of the vent from where magma, ash and gas comes out
• Lava is a molten rock which is given off onto the surface of the Earth when a volcano erupts
• Ash and Gas Cloud is a mixture of rock, minerals, glass particles and gases expelled or pushed out of the volcano during a volcanic eruption
• Slopes are the sides or flanks of a volcano that radiate from the main or central vent,
