crust once a high enough pressure point is reached. Volcanic eruption is the result of magma reaching the Earth’s surface. The second main part I will tell you about is the main vent. The main vent is the main channel through which the hot magma moves to reach the Earth’s surface . To reach the Earth’s surface‚ the main vent can be several miles long‚ having one end connected to the magma chamber and one reaching the surface. During volcanic eruption‚ most of the lava ejects through the main vent

What forms after volcano eruption and after magma cools? Igneous rock forms when superheated volcanic liquid‚ also called magma‚ cools and thus hardens through a process of crystallization in one of two manners: by cooling and crystallization on the Earth’s surface such as after a volcanic eruption; or by cooling more gradually through a process of rising as it cools through the magma while still below the Earth’s surface. Scientists further classify such rocks based on their mineral characteristics:
