Magma chamber, Main vent, Crater , Lava​

Answer 1

The term “volcano” refers to an opening in the Earth’s surface from which lava, gases, ash and rock fragments erupt. The structure of a volcano grows with every eruption. Below the surface, lava is called magma and builds up in underground reservoirs. Magma and other volcanic materials are channeled to the surface where they are expelled through a crack or hole. The main parts of a volcano include the magma chamber, conduits, vents, craters and slopes. There are three types of volcanoes: cinder cones, stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes.
