1. Vent - The opening at the top of a volcano through which lava, ash, and gases erupt.
2. Magma Chamber - A large underground pool of molten rock found beneath the Earth’s surface.
3. Ash Cloud - A cloud of volcanic ash and gas ejected into the atmosphere during an eruption.
4. Lava Flow - Molten rock that flows out of a volcano onto the Earth’s surface.
5. Crater - A bowl-shaped depression at the top of a volcano, often formed by explosive eruptions.
6. Side Vent - A secondary opening on the side of a volcano that allows magma to escape.
7. Layers of Lava and Ash - Accumulated deposits from previous eruptions that build up the volcano’s structure.
8. Pyroclastic Flow - A fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter that moves away from the volcano during an eruption.
