What is a roughly circular opening at the summit of the volcano?

A roughly circular opening at the summit of a volcano is called a crater. It forms as a result of explosive volcanic activity, where eruptions cause the surrounding rock and debris to be ejected, leaving a depression. Craters can vary in size and shape depending on the nature of the eruption and the volcano's characteristics. Some volcanoes may also have a caldera, which is a larger depression formed when a volcano collapses after an eruption.
