WHAT DOES MAGMA CHAMBER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Magma chamber

A magma chamber is a large underground pool of liquid rock found beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock in such a chamber is under great pressure, and given enough time, that pressure can gradually fracture the rock around it creating outlets for the magma. If it finds a way to the surface, then the result will be a volcanic eruption; consequently many volcanoes are situated over magma chambers. Magma chambers are hard to detect, and most of the known ones are therefore close to the surface of the Earth, commonly between 1 km and 10 km under the surface. In geological terms, this is extremely close to the surface, although in human terms, it is considerably deep underground.

Definition of magma chamber in the English dictionary

The definition of magma chamber in the dictionary is a reservoir of magma in the earth's crust where the magma may reside temporarily on its way from the upper mantle to the earth's surface.
