Most volcanoes, when they finish erupting, leave a crater behind when the magma retreats down the volcanic pipe. Occasionally this will fill with water to leave a lake.
A large surface explosion will leave behind a Caldera - a broad area possibly still of geothermal activity. Such as Yellowstone, or Okataina.
