What term is given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse in the Earth?
That term is 'calderas'
Does Neptune have volcanoes craters and rings?
Volcanoes - No. Craters - No. Rings - Yes. Neptune is a gas giant. A gas giant does not have a solid surface or rocks. Therefore it is impossible for impact craters and volcanoes to form. Neptune has very faint blue-white rings that are very difficult to see.
Does Saturn have craters if so how do they form?
Saturn does not have craters. Craters are formed when one solid object crashes into another, much larger, solid object and gouges out a hole, which is called a crater. Saturn is essentially a huge ball of gas, so it cannot have craters. Craters are also formed when volcanoes explode. Because Saturn is essentially a big ball of gas it is not known to have volcanoes.
Are there any craters or volcanoes on Neptune?
No. Neptune is a gas giant. Therefore it does not have a surface or solid rocks. Therefore there is nothing for anything to impact on and it is impossible for volcanoes to form.
What are the different shapes of volcanoes?
The different shapes of volcanoes include composite volcanoes or stratovolcanoes with steep sides and symmetrical cones. Cinder cone volcanoes have a summit with a bowl shape crater. Shield volcanoes are low and flat. Lava dome volcanoes have a dome shape.

Which of the following is true about volcanic eruptions?
Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when lava builds up to form volcanoes and plateaus.
What is the plural form for plateau?
plateaus or plateaux

Are there craters storms hurricanes volcanoes or floods on Neptune?
Craters - No. Storms - Yes. Hurricanes - These are storms. Volcanoes - No. Floods - No. Neptune is a gas giant, which means it is made of gas and has no solid surface. Without a surface it is impossible for impact craters and volcanoes to form. There are no floods on the planet because there is no water. It will be impossible for Neptune to hold water because it has no surface to flow on and it is absolutely freezing. Neptune is the stormiest planet discovered so far. Winds average 750mph, with storms recorded to be as fast as 1,200mph.
How are volcanoes classified?
They are classified according to their size, shape, style of eruption and the materials that compose them. * Shield volcanoes: large, gently sloping volcanoes composed of layers of basaltic lava flows. They produce mostly effusive eruptions. Examples include Kilauea, Mauna Loa, and Erta Ale * Stratovolcanoes (also called composite volcanoes or composite cones): Large volcanoes with steel slopes composed of ash and lava flows. These volcanoes often produce explosive eruptions, though lava flows can occur too. These volcanoes can erupt a variety of material. Examples include Mount St. Helens, Mount Pinatubo, and Mount Vesuvius. * Cinder cones: Smaller, steep sloped volcanoes composed of chunks of rock called cinders. They have mildly explosive eruptions that produce fountains of lava. Cinder cones can sometimes be found on top of or on the flanks of stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes. Examples include Paricutin, Sunset Crater * Lava domes: These are domes of very viscous rhyolitic lava that build up. Most lava domes are part of a stratovolcano rather than volcanoes in and of themselves. Novarupta is an example of a lava dome. * Calderas: These are massive volcanic craters that form during cataclysmic explosive eruptions when a volcano collapses into the empty space left behind by erupted magma. Most calderas form from stratovolcanoes, and in many cases can be classified as both. Examples of stratovolcanoes that have become calderas include Mount Tambora, Mount Mazama, and Krakatoa. There are four calderas in Yellowstone National Park that likely never involved a stratovolcano as the Yellowstone volcano covers too large of an area to build a mountain. They are classified according to their size,shape,and the materials that compose them.
Are cinder cones usually found at the edge of large volcanoes?
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.
Island arcs form when oceanic lithosphere subducts under?
Calderas
Why do you have mountains and volcanoes?
Mountains are formed by the movement and coliding of tectonic plates as they become deformed. Volcanoes form when the pressure of magma underneath the surface becomes too great for the ground to withstand and the magma explodes out of the ground forming craters and ridges.
