Diagram of a Volcano

I was recently looking up the structure of Volcanoes and I found this peculiar
diagram.

Firstly why do all the labels have different names? Or is this in another language?
Is "Chambre Magmatique" the same as "Magma chamber"?
If so what is that chamber at the bottom called then? Is it called a "Chambre Magmatique" or is it called a "Magma chamber"? I am assuming the labels refer to what they represent. So "Chambre Magmatique" represents the chamber at the bottom.

Cratere- crater
Coulee du lave- lava
Chambre magmatique- the centre of lava I guess
Volcan inactif- inactive volcano
Fumerolle- I'm not sure but as dictionary states it's "a hole where gases escape" and actually there an English word "fumerole"

I can't tell much as my French is just beginner level but it's not even difficult to guess the parts as some French words are similar to some English words :smile:
