In cases where a volcanic mountain erupts, leaving behind part of its neck, to form a kind of depression or hollowed remnant called a Crater. When water gets into such cavity and becomes traped and stagnant it leads to a "Cratic Lake" mostly known as a "Caldera".

Will the crater on top of a volcano contain a lake?

The volcanic craters that contain lakes are not extremely rare, however for a lake to form the volcano must have a low level of activity. If the temperature of the volcano gets too warm preceeding an eruption or shortly after an eruption the water will simply convert to steam and will not become a lake. However if the crater is cool enough and is enclosed, as long as there is a supply of water a crater lake will eventually form within the volcano.

Can a lake near a volcano become acidic?

Yes, a lake near a volcano can become acidic due to volcanic activity. When a volcano erupts, it can release gases such as sulfur dioxide, which can dissolve in water and form sulfuric acid, lowering the pH of the lake. Additionally, the leaching of minerals from volcanic rocks can also contribute to increased acidity. These changes can significantly impact the ecosystem of the lake.
