∙ 11y agoThe the supply of magma and the magma chamber that fed Krakatoa remained intact after the 1883 eruption. Although the original mountain was destroyed, the magma that fed the volcano did not stop flowing, so a new mountain began to build not long after the destruction of its predecessor.
Krakatoa is cyclic in nature. The Island periodically destroys itself and builds back up.

∙ 9y agoThe 1883 eruption of Krakatoa may have destroyed the island, but the magma chamber and the conduit that supplies magma from the mantle remained intact. As a result, magma has continued to flow underground. Material erupted onto the floor of the cladera and has built up into a new volcanic island.

∙ 9y agoThe caldera of Krakatoa formed during a cataclysmic eruption in 1883. The eruption drained an enormous amount of magma from the magma chamber beneath the volcano. Much of the island then collapsed into the space left behind, forming a depression called a caldera.

What is the general description for krakatau?
Krakatoa was a volcanic island in Indonesia Java and Sumatra. The island collapsed into the sea during a cataclysmic eruption in 1883. Continued volcanic activity caused new island to form called Anak Krakatau "son of Krakatoa". The new island Anak Krakatau is currently active.
What forms after the top of a volcano collapses?
When a volcanic cone collapses it forms a caldera.
A caldera is a depression in a volcanic mountain A caldera may form when?
The mountain collapses into an emptied magma chamber
When is caldera form?
When a large explosive volcanic eruption destroys most of the volcano, the resulting large crater is called a caldera.
What is the Oregon Lake Caldera or Volcanic neck?
It would have to be a caldera. A caldera is a depression in the ground, so it is logical that one would contain a lake (and some do). A volcanic neck is a pillar or mountain of rock that solidified inside a volcano, and so could not form a lake.

The name comes from the Indonesian Krakatau. Unfortunately the origin of that word is very uncertain. It may be related to a word simply meaning "island" but its etymology is currently unknown.
What is formed when a cavern roof collapses.?
Sinkholes form typically as limestone dissolves. A caldera is created by the collapse of volcanic vault ceilings.
Can an ocean trench become a volcanic island?
An ocean trench does not become a volcanic island, however volcanic islands often form near ocean trenches.
Is a volcanic island transform?
No. Volcanoes do not form at transform boundaries. Volcanic islands can form at convergent boundaries and at hot spots.
What is a circular depression formed by an explosion or a collapse at a volcanic vent?
The rare phenomenon you're talking about is called a calderas.Caldera is the term given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse into the earth.
A series of volcanic islands that form along a plate boundary is called a what?
This is called a volcanic island arc.
What caused the island to form?
The Galápagos Islands were formed by volcanic activity.
