It's just a crater shapped like a funnel at the summit of the volcano, located at the top of the conduit or pipe through which the magma reaches the surface.
When a larger volcano collapses in on itself, it forms a caldera, not a whig. A caldera is a large depression that results from the explosive eruption and subsequent collapse of the volcano's summit. This geological feature can often fill with water, creating a lake, or become a site for new volcanic activity. The term "whig" does not pertain to volcanic formations and may be a misunderstanding or typo.
The rare phenomenon you're talking about is called a calderas.Caldera is the term given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse into the earth.
Mount Erebus is an active volcano located in Antarctica. It is the southernmost active volcano on Earth and is known for its persistent lava lake within its summit crater. It is also home to one of the few long-term scientific monitoring stations in Antarctica.
They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).
A dormant volcano is another term for a volcano that is no longer active but could potentially erupt again.

The term for the highest peak on a mountain is summit. Some synonyms for summit are apex, crest, peak, and crown.
The application of the term volcano to Thera is probably misplaced. Thera volcanic caldera, the depression which is the remains of a volcano. There are a group of islands there, and the caldera is the area in the middle. It's full of sea water, and tourists flock there in large numbers. Counting them would present a challenge.
The term "summit" in mountain climbing refers to the highest point of a mountain. Reaching the summit is a significant achievement for climbers as it represents the successful completion of their climb and the ultimate goal of their expedition.
A dormant volcano is a volcano that is "sleeping," for lack of a better term. It is a volcano that is not currently active.
A coral atoll.
There is no specific term for the outer layer of a volcano.
Depression is the medical term for depression. But there are different types of depression depending on the particular constellation of symptoms. For instance a few include: Dysthymia - a long term low level of depression Anhedonia - loss of a sense of pleasure Cyclothymia - a milder form of bipolar Major depressive disorder - what most lay people call depression
They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).
