Can volcanoes form craters calderas and lava plateaus?
Yes, volcanoes can form craters, which are depressions around the vent where the volcano erupts. Calderas are larger, basin-shaped volcanic depressions that can form after a volcano expels a large volume of magma and collapses. Lava plateaus can form when lava flows out of long cracks in the ground and spreads over a large area, creating a flat plateau-like surface.
