Detailed explanation-1: -All volcanoes have a pocket of magma beneath the surface and one or more cracks through which the magma forces its way. Beneath a volcano, magma collects in a pocket called a magma chamber. The magma moves upward through a pipe, a long tube in the ground that connects the magma chamber to Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -A magma chamber is a partially or totally molten body located in the crust and supplied with magma from a deeper source, a reservoir.
Detailed explanation-3: -The location beneath the vent of a volcano where molten rock (magma) is stored prior to eruption. Also known as a magma storage zone or magma reservoir.
Detailed explanation-4: -A magma chamber is usually located far beneath the surface of the Earth where an oceanic plate is driven down into the mantle by a continental plate. The oceanic plate melts as it desends into the upper layer of the mantle.
