What are the different parts of a volcano and where are they located
on a volcano?
Erin Leigh Fitzgerald
Dear Erin,
Volcanoes have summits (at the top of course) and flanks (everything
below the summit - the sides). Some volcanoes, like those in
Hawaii,
have rift zones that extend down from the
summit on the flank(s) of the volcano. That's the basics.
