    The document provides definitions for key terms related to volcanoes, including main vent, secondary vent, crater, secondary cone, layers of ash and lava, ash clouds, ash, volcanic bombs, magma chamber, and lava flow. It labels a diagram of a volcano with these terms and defines each one. The main vent is where magma rises from the magma chamber to the surface. Secondary vents allow some magma and gases to escape but are not the primary eruption point. A secondary cone builds up around a secondary vent.
