Are there any calderas in Texas?
There are a few ancient Calderas in Texas. Texas isn't near any 'hotspots' or tectonic plate boundaries, so it's not volcanically active. The Calderas are in the western part of the state and are about 40 million years old or so... One in particular is the Buckhorn Caldera near Ft. Davis, Texas.
What term is given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse in the Earth?
That term is 'calderas'
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.
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 wrong in this sentence rock melts at calderas and then is forced towards the crust as magma?
The sentence incorrectly implies that rock itself melts to form magma. In reality, the heat from the mantle causes the surrounding rock to melt and form magma which then rises towards the crust. Consider revising the sentence to accurately reflect this process.
Which country has no calderas?
Nigeria has no calderas.
Are calderas occupied by large lakes?
Calderas can be occupied by lakes, but they do not have to be. Seomve calderas are dry while others are located beneath the sea.
Who does'nt like aleandria calderas?
Nobody dislikes aleandria calderas.

Are craters larger than calderas?
Calderas are typically larger than most impact craters, which are formed by meteorite impacts. Calderas are massive volcanic depressions that form when the ground collapses after a volcanic eruption depletes the magma chamber. The size of both structures can vary greatly, but calderas tend to be larger in scale.
