What forms when the top or side of a volcano collapses into the magma chamber?
Caldera
What forms when the top or side of volcano collapses into the magma chamber?
Caldera
Is this correct pyroclastic flows from composite cone volcanoes are known as calderas?
No. They are simply called pyroclastic flows. A caldera is a depression formed in the ground when a volcano, usually a composite volcano, collapses as the magma chamber partially empties during an especially violent eruption.
What is the large circular depression at the top of a volcano that forms when the roof of the magma chamber collapses?

Does a caldera form when a magma chamber's roof collapses?
yes, I think so. because, very large volume of magma is ejected and then magma chamber can't support the volcano above it. then the volcano begins to sink into the earth.magma chamber empties and a new collapsed depression occurs.
When a volcano collapses a very wide crater is called a?
When a volcano collapses a very wide crater is called a caldera.
