∙ 12y agoThe collapse of a volcanoes magma chamber in a major volcanic eruption would more than likely not produce or help to produce a batholith. A batholith is formed when magma underground fails to ever erupt and crystallizes very slowly at a great depth. The intrusion is than exposed as the rock and dirt above is eroded away, eventually over time (often times millions of years) the intrusion will become visible above ground and is than a batholith.

What creates a caldera?
The collapse of an emptied magma chamber after eruption.
How was the Yellowstone caldera most likely formed?
From the collapse of a massive magma chamber after it last erupted.
What do you call the part inside a volcano where magma collects in a pocket?
Lava collects inside a Magma Chamber. "When an erupting volcano empties a shallow-level magma chamber, the edifice of the volcano may collapse into the voided reservoir, thus forming a steep, bowl-shaped depression called a caldera" (Quoted from How Volcanoes Work at http:/wwwzperiodzgeologyzperiodzsdsuzperiodzedu/how_volcanoes_work/Calderaszperiodzhtml)
How does the air get caught in a volcano?
Volcanos produce a lot of gas, and not all volcanos have open holes on top. Some are closed, and as magma rises, air gets trapped.
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties and causes the ground to sink?
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties is called a caldera. It is a large volcanic crater made from the collapse of a volcano's mouth.
The collapse of volcanoes magma chamber may produce?
caldera
Where is a volcanos magma chamber?
a volcanoes magma chamber is at the bottom of the inside of the volcano, just at the botton of the tunnel shooting lava
What creates a caldera?
The collapse of an emptied magma chamber after eruption.
When do volcanos errupt?
Volcanoes erupt when magma enters a chamber previously full of magma. The pressure builds and forces the magma to the surface.
What is a large hole formed when volcanoes magma chamber empties and collapse?
caldera

Is a caldera another name for a magma chamber?
No. A magma chamber is the area under a volcano where molten rock is stored. A caldera is a depression in the ground formed during an exceptionally violent volcanic eruption. A caldera forms when a volcano drains a large volume of magma from the magma chamber, causing the volcano to collapse into the space left behind.
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties and causes the ground to sink?
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties is called a caldera. It is a large volcanic crater made from the collapse of a volcano's mouth.
What is the cavity where magma is stored under a volcano called?
This is called the magma chamber.
A chamber underground containing magma?
A magma chamber.
