What is the crater of a volcano?
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.
Do calderas form into lakes?
No. Calderas form when a volcano produces an extremely massive eruption and collapses in on itself. But the volcano will often continue to erupt after this. For example, the volcano Krakatoa formed a caldera in 1883, but eruptions since then have formed a new island that is currently very active. There is evidence that the volcano has done such a thing several times.
What is the crater called if it becomes very large as a result of the collapse of its walls?
A Caldera
Does lava gush out of volcanoes or flow out?
The verb for lava coming out of a volcano is 'erupt.Lava erupts from volcano then flows down the flanks.For very viscous lavas, the lava forms a dome in the mouth of the volcano (which, when it gets too big collapses to form pyroclastic flows), in this instance the eruption is a growth, dome growth!
Which type of volcano doesn't get very big or tall because it is susceptible to erosion?
The answer is a Cinder Cone Volcano. Cinder cones build from the ejected materials-mainly ash and rock-that fall near the summit or crater of the volcano. They erode faster than other volcanoes because their volcanic materials are not held together by hardened lava. Most cinder cone volcanoes are short, rising less than a thousand feet, and have a bowl-shaped crater at the top.
What happen to create a caldera?
Calderas form during massive explosve volcanic eruptions. In such eruptions so much material is expelled that it leaves a large empty space under the volcano. The volcano then collapses into this space, forming a giant crater.

What is a caldera is there one located in the US?
A caldera is a crater-like formation that forms as a result of a very large explosive volcanic eruption. The caldera forms when the eruption drains a large amount of magma from beneath the volcano. The volcano then collapses into the space left behind. There are a number of calderas in the U.S. The most prominant is likely that of Mount Mazama in Oregon, which holds Crater Lake. There are also several calderas in Yellowstone National Park, three of which were created by super eruptions over the course of the past 2 million years.
What is a volcano which erupts very often called?
its called an acgi
Compare volcanic crater to a caldera?
A Crater is a bowl shaped depression in the Earth's surface. It could be made by an impacting meteor, an underground land collapse, or perhaps may be found at the top of a volcano [= collapse].A Caldera is of volcanic origin, (but without a noticeable volcanic cone), where there was an eruption after which the magma chamber collapsed and is now filled in. Yellowstone is one notable example, and the Taupo Lake another.

What is a cater in volcano?
A volcanic crater is the part from which the ejecta or magma are emitted. Commonly a conical depression is left due to the withdrawal of the magma chamber that created the eruption. Sometimes infilled with a crater lake. If the eruption was of the highly explosive variety, there may not be very much of a mountain form surrounding the crater. Examples would include L Taupo in New Zealand, and the Yellowstone caldera.
