Check understanding
- Explain that magma is melted rock underground and lava is the same material above ground
- Label a magma chamber, vent, and crater on a volcano cross-section
- Describe the path magma takes from underground to the surface during an eruption
“If your child looks at a cross-section diagram of a volcano, can they point to the magma chamber, vent, and crater, and explain the difference between magma underground and lava on the surface?”
