This liquid is constantly moving in currents beneath the crust. Magma rises to the surface and pushes through weak spots in the crust, forming volcanoes. At this stage the magma is called lava. Openings in a volcano lead below the earth’s surface to very hot chambers, several miles underground where there are pools of magma, pieces of hot, solid rock, and hot gases. Shifts in the earth’s surface can build up pressure beneath the volcano. The magma, which is lighter than the surrounding solid rock, is forced upward by the pressure and may ultimately break though, causing a volcanic eruption. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. The lava may slowly cause a mountain to build up by flowing down the side of the volcano and cooling in layers.

The parts of a volcano have different names used to identify and describe them. During an eruption magma rushes up to the surface in different ways. Some erupt through side vents or fissures, and some stay underground and form a bigger magma pool and when the magma then erupts, it is called the main vent.
