Let’s look at the volcano diagram and match each part to the correct word from the Word Box.

We’ll go step by step, starting from the top of the volcano and working our way down.

1. The big gray cloud at the very top — that’s what comes out when the volcano erupts. It’s made of tiny rock bits and smoke. That’s called the Ash cloud.

2. Right below the ash cloud, there’s a bright yellow burst coming out of the top hole. That’s where lava and gas shoot out. That opening is called the Vent.

3. The hole at the very top of the volcano (where the vent is) is also called the Crater — it’s like the mouth of the volcano.

4. Inside the volcano, there’s a long tube going straight up from the bottom to the top. That’s how magma travels up. That’s called the Conduit.

5. At the bottom, under the ground, there’s a big red pool of hot melted rock. That’s the source of the lava. But wait — in the Word Box, we don’t have “magma chamber,” so maybe that’s not labeled here. Let’s keep going.

6. On the side of the volcano, there’s a smaller bump with its own little eruption. That’s a mini-volcano on the side — that’s called a Parasitic cone.

7. There’s also a horizontal layer inside the volcano — a flat line of rock that cuts across the layers. That’s called a Sill.

8. The stuff flying out besides the big cloud — those are small particles falling down. That’s just called Ash.

9. And the red liquid flowing down the side? That’s Lava — once magma reaches the surface, we call it lava.

Now let’s assign them to the lines in the diagram:

- Top gray cloud → Ash cloud
- Yellow burst at top → Vent
- Hole at top → Crater
- Long vertical tube → Conduit
- Side bump → Parasitic cone
- Horizontal layer inside → Sill
- Falling particles → Ash
- Red flow on side → Lava

Wait — let’s double-check the Word Box:
Word Box has: Sill, Vent, Ash cloud, Ash, Lava, Parasitic cone, Crater, Conduit — that’s 8 words.

The diagram has 8 lines pointing to parts — perfect!

So final matching:

Topmost line (gray cloud) → Ash cloud
Line pointing to yellow burst → Vent
Line pointing to top hole → Crater
Line pointing to center tube → Conduit
Line pointing to side bump → Parasitic cone
Line pointing to horizontal layer → Sill
Line pointing to falling specks → Ash
Line pointing to red flow on slope → Lava

All matched correctly.

Final Answer:
From top to bottom, left to right as per typical labeling order in such diagrams:

- Ash cloud (top gray cloud)
- Vent (yellow burst at top)
- Crater (opening at summit)
- Conduit (central pipe)
- Parasitic cone (side cone)
- Sill (horizontal intrusion)
- Ash (falling particles)
- Lava (flowing red stream)

But since the question asks to label using the words from the Word Box, and doesn’t specify order, we list the correct term for each part shown.

Actually — looking again, the diagram likely expects you to write the word next to each line. Since I can’t draw, I’ll list which word goes with which feature based on standard volcano diagrams:

1. The large gray cloud above → Ash cloud
2. The yellow explosion at the top → Vent
3. The circular opening at the peak → Crater
4. The central channel running up → Conduit
5. The small cone on the flank → Parasitic cone
6. The horizontal sheet inside → Sill
7. The fine particles falling → Ash
8. The molten rock flowing down → Lava

Yes — all 8 terms used.

Final Answer:
Ash cloud, Vent, Crater, Conduit, Parasitic cone, Sill, Ash, Lava
