Is a caldera the same as a volcano?
No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.
What is a volcano called that looks like a depression in the ground called?
A volcano that looks like a depression in the ground is called a caldera. It forms when the summit of a volcano collapses following a massive eruption, creating a large crater-like depression. Calderas can range in size from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers in diameter.
What is a molten rock that comes from a volcano called?
Molten rock (magma) that spews from a volcano is called lava, When it cools, the lava forms igneous rocks.
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties and causes the ground to sink?
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties is called a caldera. It is a large volcanic crater made from the collapse of a volcano's mouth.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
How is magma relates to rocks?
Magma is underground and when it comes out of the ground, through a volcano, magma turns to lava. As the lava cools it forms an igneous rock.
What happens to the liquid that comes out of a volcano in a volcanic eruption?
it runs dowm the side and forms rock
Did pumice form underground?

How did volcano Colima form?
When techtonic plates collide and go apart magma from the mantle come up to the crust. Then after a long time of that happening the lava cools and forms new ground which builds up into a volcano. A volcano could be on land or under water.
Does corn cereal come from the ground?
Indirectly, yes. But directly, no. To make it simple, all forms of corn cereal come from corn, and corn comes from the ground. So in that way, corn cereal indirectly comes from the ground. But it does not literally grow from the ground. So in the technical sense, we cannot say corn cereal comes from the ground.
What are the different water forms in Mongolia?
well its hard to say but sometimes it is produced by liquid gas and water and sometimes it comes out like a volcano...
When a volcano erupts quietly what kind of mountains forms?
a shield volcano
What forms when a larger volcano collapse in on itself?
It forms a 'caldera'.
