It could, if by "no top" you mean no lava-lake within the ring-shaped
summit. After an eruption, the surface of the lava-lake would cool off and
solidify, until the next eruption, or the lava would subside after an
eruption much like the water of a geysir, and volcanic ashes would block the
outlet.
What I find more interesting is the fact that the chamber with the cave
leading to it existed, and seems to have existed unchanged since the Ring
was forged. Surely an eruption sending lava out of the top would also flood
the chamber lower down, and then it would be blocked, if the lava chamber
feeding the summit were the same as the lava chamber that the Ring was
eventually dropped into. Perhaps it was part of Sauron's power that the
Sammath Naur were kept open and operational.

Or perhaps, as it says in the chapter Mount Doom, Sauron had his servants
keep the road clean. No magic, just a tyrant and a lot of servants.

The book mentions that Sauron's slaves keep clearing the road;
perhaps they also have to excavate the chamber too.

I believe that this would be a violation of the ban on

Comrade AC, could you please refrain from setting follow-ups on on-topic
threads to r.a.b.t. only? Not everyone has the time to read both groups,
and I see no reason why you should deliberately try to reduce the amount
of on-topic content in a.f.t.
Could others restore the cross-posting while replying to AC's post,
please? Thank you.

Agreed. If an original post is cross-posted to both groups all responses
should retain that cross-posting, unless the original is somehow completely
OT for one group or the other. This is ideal for those that browse only one
group as they see all the replies. If you browse both groups, once you've
read it from one group it is marked as read in the other.

Seconded.

I apologize, but plead ignorance. I use SLRN and it apparently wants to
enforce netiquette and I wasn't paying attention when it asked if I wanted
to set the follow-up to rabt. I will pay more attention in the future.
