Volcanoes Volcanoes form at weak spots in the Earth’s crust. Magma is a molten mixture of rocky substances. It forms within the Earth in the Magma chamber Lava forms when magma reaches the Earth’s surface and erupts from the volcano crater

Volcano Model Lab Terms Volcano - a vent (opening) at the Earth's crust through which magma (molten rock) and associated gases erupt. Magma - molten rock beneath the surface of the Earth. Lava - magma that has reached the surface. Cinders - lava fragments about 1 centimeter in diameter. Pyroclastics (“fire fragments”) - ash, cinders, angular blocks, and rounded bombs (block and bomb fragments can be over 1 meter in diameter). Explosive eruptions – eject lava and pyroclastics. Quiet eruptions – fluid lava flows out of a volcano's vent.
