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 the difference between a crater and a caldera?
A caldera is a large depression formed at the summit of a volcano, left behind by the excavation of magma. A crater is formed by an explosion or impact.
