Parts of a VOLCANO

- A Volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

- Volcanoes are one of the most powerful forces of nature a person can bear witness to.Originating from deep within the Earth’s crust, volcanoes leave a lasting mark on the landscape.

Did you know the Parts of a VOLCANO???

Ash, Steam and Gas or sometimes called Volcanic ash and dust are formed as gases that have expanded in the rising of the magma in the volcanic vent. Crater are bowl-shaped basin in the top of the volcano and surrounds a volcanic vent. Magma is composed of molten rock and is stored in the Earth's crust. Magma Chamber is a collection of magma inside the Earth, below the volcano.Lava is magma that reaches the surface of our planet through a volcano vent and molten rock that erupts from a volcano that solidifies as it cools. Vent is the central tube which magma travels through.

The vent are in two to parts the Main vent and Secondary Vent; First the Main Vent this is the main outlet for the magma to escape. Secondary Vent are smaller outlets through which magma escapes. Secondary cones were eruptions from other vents may build up secondary cones on the flanks. Volcanic Bombs is a mass of molten rock (tephra) larger than 64 mm (2.5 inches) in diameter, formed when a volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption. Sill is a flat piece of rock formed when magma hardens in a crack in a volcano. Flank is in the side of a volcano.Throat we can find this in the entrance of a volcano. The part of the conduit that ejects lava and volcanic ash.Summit is the Highest point; apex.
