No. Calderas form when a volcano produces an extremely massive eruption and collapses in on itself. But the volcano will often continue to erupt after this. For example, the volcano Krakatoa formed a caldera in 1883, but eruptions since then have formed a new island that is currently very active. There is evidence that the volcano has done such a thing several times.

∙ 9y agoSome calderas have become lakes such as Crater Lake and Lake Taupo, but not all. A number of calderas such as the Valles Caldera in New Mexico or the Mount Tambora caldera in Indonesia. Some other calderas have not become lakes but have filled with seawater. Examples include Campi Flegrei in Italy, Santorini off the coast of Greece, and Krakatoa in Indonesia.

∙ 6y agoA caldera generally forms when a volcano produces a very large, violent eruption. So much magma is drained from below that the volcano collapses into the space left behind.
