Fissures, vents, and plugs are all associated with volcanoes. Fissures are cracks in the earth's surface from which lava and other volcanic materials can escape. Vents are openings in the earth's surface from which magma and other volcanic materials can escape. Plugs are solidified magma that can form in the throat of a volcano.
Fissures, vents, and plugs are all associated with a volcanic feature called a volcano. A fissure is a long, narrow crack in the Earth's surface from which lava can erupt, while a vent is an opening in the Earth's surface from which volcanic materials such as lava, ash and gases escape. A plug is a solidified mass of volcanic material that fills a vent or fissure in a volcano. All of these features are indicative of volcanic activity and play a role in the eruption process.
