craters are formed by asteroid impacts, comets colliding with the Earth even Volcanic eruptions.
The biggest asteroid impact is in the Yucatan Peninsula this thing is over 100 million square miles it is also the key suspect in the extinction of the Dinosaurs.
We now know that comets can break up when they get close to a planet. In 1994 a comet that we called Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter but before it hit it broke up into smaller fragments so basically it rained down comets onto the planet. The same thing has been known to happen on Earth about 35 million years ago a meteor broke apart one piece of it landed in what is now the Chesapeake Bay the other piece landed in Siberia.
We know that volcanoes have a history of collapsing (think of Mt. St. Helens in 1980) the same thing can happen with Super Volcanoes.
There is a theory about how this monsters can be formed. Millions of years ago where the Caldera is today there would have been a massive volcano, when it erupted it exploded out would where it should have gone extinct but instead the Caldera just keeps filling up with magma instead which causes a massive problem for the human race.
Three examples are:
Yellowstone Caldera
Long Valley Caldera
And Lake Toba.
The purpose of the passage The Barringer Meteorite Crater is to provide information about the impact crater in Arizona caused by a meteorite collision. It aims to describe the formation process, characteristics, and scientific significance of the crater.
This is likely a crater, which is formed by the impact of a meteorite or other celestial object hitting the surface of the planet or moon. The impact causes material to be displaced, creating a bowl-shaped depression in the ground.
No. Copernicus crater is an impact crater.
When a meteorite impact causes a pit or depression in the ground, that is called a crater.
The basin-shaped crater at the top of a volcano is called a caldera. It is typically formed after a volcanic eruption causes the volcano to collapse inward, creating a large depression. Calderas can range in size from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers in diameter.
The formation of the Hiroshima crater was caused by the detonation of an atomic bomb during World War II.

The formation you are referring to is likely an impact crater. When an asteroid hits the Earth, it can create a large crater by displacing the ground and forming a bowl-shaped depression. The impact can also cause debris to be ejected in all directions around the crater.
A crater is typically concave, meaning it has a depressed or sunken appearance, with the center lower than the rim. This is due to the force of impact during the formation of the crater, which creates a bowl-shaped depression in the ground.
A crater is the bowl shaped formation at the top of a volcano or meteor impact site.
The presence of its mountain ranges and crater rims does, by contrast.

The formation of the Meteor Crater played a role in the geological history and landscape evolution of the Grand Canyon by demonstrating the impact of meteorites on the Earth's surface. This impact event helped shape the landscape of the region and influenced the formation of the Grand Canyon over millions of years through erosion and other geological processes.
