Parts Of The Volcano And Their Functions
Parts of the volcano and their functions
Volcano is a rupture in the crust of earth or other planetary mass object that erupts and allows magma, rock fragments, hot gas and vapour escape from the surface below the crust.
Volcano has several parts that include:
1. Crater- it is the mouth of the volcano where the magma or lava is ejected
2. Vent- it is a pathway connected from the magma chamber to the crater and where the magma flows up to the crater for eruption
3. Magma chamber- it is the pool of hot molten rock beneath the surface of the land or crust
