Caldera.
This is known as a Caldera.
No. A caldera is a volcanic structure. It is formed by the collapse of a volcao rather than a magma body.

It's a stratovolcano with a summit caldera, and the caldera formed after the colossal eruption around 1750 B.C.
No, but its host volcano may be.
Mount Rainier has a summit pit but does not have a caldera.
