wiki Word: Central Vent |
Definition: The central vent is the volcano neck that the lava flows through on a volcano when it is about to erupt. |
|
The central vent is an opening at the earths surface of a volcanic conduit of cylindrical or pipe-like form. Volcanic vents are openings in Earth's crust where molten lava and volcanic gases escape onto the land surface or into the atmosphere. Most volcanoes have a circular central vent near their summit crater that serves as a conduit for ongoing volcanic construction.

The thrust from the pressure inside the volcano puts pressure on the lava to make it erupt... |
|
This word related to our volcano/mars study. Because during the study of these we learned how volcano's erupt and they can't erupt with out the volcanic neck/ central vent.

you can see at the bottom there is the magma chamber, and the tunnel going straight up is the central vent/volcanic neck.
