This is known as a caldera or a crater.
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.
Are craters volcanic bombs?
No. A crater is a circular depression in the ground formed by an impact or explosion. A volcano bomb is a blob of lava hurled out during a volcanic eruption.

A basin shaped volcanic depression?
A caldera.
What makes the volcanoes crater?
A volcanic crater is a circular depression caused by volcanic activity.
Where is Dallol?

A bowl shaped depression that forms around the vent of a volcano is a?
A bowl-shaped depression that forms around the vent of a volcano is a crater. These craters can be formed by the explosion of volcanic material or the collapse of the volcanic cone following an eruption.
What do you call a circular basin surrounded by mountains?
A circular basin surrounded by mountains is typically referred to as a crater or caldera, depending on whether it was formed by volcanic activity or by the collapse of a volcanic cone.
Is caldera intrusive?
No. A caldera is a volcanic structure. It is formed by the collapse of a volcao rather than a magma body.
What is a volcanic crater feature?
A volcanic crater is a large, basin-like depression at the summit of a volcano. It forms when the magma chamber beneath a volcano is emptied during an eruption, causing the overlying rock to collapse into the chamber. Craters can also be formed by explosive eruptions that blow out the summit of a volcano.
