No. A magma chamber is the area under a volcano where molten rock is stored. A caldera is a depression in the ground formed during an exceptionally violent volcanic eruption. A caldera forms when a volcano drains a large volume of magma from the magma chamber, causing the volcano to collapse into the space left behind.
Is the Yellowstone caldera considered active dormant or extinct?
The Yellowstone caldera is considered active, as evidenced by ongoing geological activity such as ground deformation, geothermal features, and occasional earthquake swarms. It is not currently erupting, but past eruptions and ongoing monitoring indicate that it remains a volatile and potentially hazardous volcanic system.
What does a caldera volcano look like?
A caldera volcano typically has a large, bowl-shaped depression at the summit, formed by the collapse of the magma chamber after a large eruption. The caldera may be filled with water to create a crater lake, and the walls of the caldera can be steep and rugged. Caldera volcanoes can be quite large and are often considered among the most dangerous volcanic systems.
