What does a volcanic crater form?
It forms by volcanic activity in the vent of a volcano.
When a volcano collapses what does it form?
When a volcano collapses, it can form a crater or caldera. A crater is a bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano, while a caldera is a much larger depression that can form when the center of the volcano collapses. Both features can result in a large, empty space left behind by the volcanic activity.
What do you call a land form that is hollow and can be found at the top of a volcano?
A caldera or crater.
What is the funnel-shaped opening at the top of the volcano called?
The opening of the volcano is called crater. A crater may be large in dimension or deep. This is where the magma erupts.
Was crater lake formed by a meteor?
No, Crater Lake was formed by the collapse of a volcano known as Mount Mazama. Around 7,700 years ago, a massive eruption caused the volcano to collapse into itself, creating a caldera that eventually filled with water to form what is now Crater Lake.
What is a crater volcano?
A crater volcano, also known as a volcanic crater, is a circular depression at the summit of a volcano. It is formed when explosive eruptions blast out material, creating a bowl-shaped cavity. Crater volcanoes can vary in size and depth depending on the volcanic activity that created them.
Which forms inside the crater of a large volcano?
A caldera may form inside the crater of a large volcano. A caldera is a large depression caused by the collapse of the summit of the volcano following a massive eruption. It can be several kilometers in diameter.
What is the summit of a volcano?
The summit of a volcano is the highest point of the volcano's peak or crater, where often the main vent or vents are located. It is the topmost part of the volcano that can sometimes be marked by a crater or caldera.
Where may a crater be formed on a volcano?
a crater can be formed anywhere in a volcano. its usually formed at the top though.
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.
What is the lake in the crater of a volcano?
Taal Volcano in Philippines....
Is a crater in a volcano a material or part in a volcano?
A crater is not a separate material or part of a volcano. It is a depression or hollow at the summit of a volcano that forms when the volcano erupts and releases magma, gases, and other materials. The crater is a result of the collapse or expulsion of material during the eruption.
