The opening that you are asking about is called a vent. Magma can burst through any weakness in the side of a Volcano or underground passage where Magma is close to the surface.
There are also openings called Tubes that are sometimes formed that Magma flows through that are like channels and the Lava stays very hot and flows very fast through them to the end where it comes out very fluid.

The crevice through which the magma bursts is called the .?
fissure
Why does magma rise through the crust above it?
Magma rises through the crust due to differences in density between the magma and surrounding rock. Magma is less dense than the solid surrounding rock, so it moves upwards through cracks and fractures in the crust. As it rises, magma can also be driven by pressure differences and heat from the Earth's mantle.
How does magma get pushed through a vent?
Magma gets pushed through a vent due to the build-up of pressure beneath the Earth's surface. As the magma rises, it creates fractures in the rocks above, eventually reaching the surface through the vent. This process is driven by the buoyancy of the magma and the force of gas expansion within it.
