Answer:

Explanation:

The letter E represents the crater and main vent of a volcano.

The crater is the bowl shaped opening located at the top of the volcano. ... Lava can flow from the main vent, but not all volcanoes eject large amounts of lava. Some volcanoes explode molten rock and huge amounts of gas from the main vent

.A vent opens through the side of a volcano, somewhere on its slopes. The crater (and neck) can seal itself up, solidify over a period of inactivity, then re-open anew nearby to form a new crater. Magma will more readily move through the interface between a solidified neck and surrounding ash matrix than it will through the center of a solidified neck alone.

Answer:

A passage through which the magma travels to the Earth's surface is known as a vent. A circular depression of the volcano is called a crater. ... A vent enables a volcanic eruption. A crater is formed as a result of a volcanic eruption.
