A crater typically forms when an object, such as a meteorite, asteroid, or comet, impacts the surface of a planet or moon, creating a depression. The force of the impact displaces material, resulting in a bowl-shaped structure. Craters can also form from volcanic activity, where gas pressure causes an explosive eruption, leaving behind a hollowed-out area. The size and shape of a crater depend on factors like the size and speed of the impacting object and the characteristics of the surface material.

Is the Copernicus Crater a Volcanic crater?
No. Copernicus crater is an impact crater.
Is Mount St Helens a crater inside a crater?
Mount St. Helens is not a crater inside a crater, but rather a stratovolcano that experienced a major eruption in 1980, which resulted in the formation of a large crater at its summit. This crater, known as the "summit crater," was created when the volcanic cone collapsed after the eruption. The mountain itself has a complex geological history, but it is primarily characterized by its single large summit crater rather than a nested crater structure.
