What is a crater volcano?
A crater volcano, also known as a volcanic crater, is a circular depression at the summit of a volcano. It is formed when explosive eruptions blast out material, creating a bowl-shaped cavity. Crater volcanoes can vary in size and depth depending on the volcanic activity that created them.
What is a volcanic crater feature?
A volcanic crater is a large, basin-like depression at the summit of a volcano. It forms when the magma chamber beneath a volcano is emptied during an eruption, causing the overlying rock to collapse into the chamber. Craters can also be formed by explosive eruptions that blow out the summit of a volcano.
Steep walled depression around volcano vent?
Volcanic crater.
What is the name of the top pit of the volcano?
The top pit of a volcano is called the crater. It is the opening at the summit of the volcano where volcanic activity such as eruptions and gas emissions occur.
What is a mouth of a volcano called?
I think its called the 'summit' Crater....
What does a volcanic crater mean?
a volcanic crater is the big empty spot in a volcano

What does a volcanic crater form?
It forms by volcanic activity in the vent of a volcano.

Steep walled depression around volcano vent?
Volcanic crater.
What is the the opening at the top of a volcano?
A volcanic vent. There may also be a crater (a concave depression or pit). This is known as a volcanic vent. It may sit at the base of a volcanic crater.

Why does Crater Lake have an island in it?
The island in Crater, called Wizard Island was formed by small volcanic eruptions that occurred after the Crater Lake caldera formed but before the volcano went extinct.
What is opened at the top of a volcano called?
A volcanic vent. There may also be a crater (a concave depression or pit). This is known as a volcanic vent. It may sit at the base of a volcanic crater.
What is a deep pit at the top of a volcanic cone?
A deep pit at the top of a volcanic cone is known as a volcanic crater. It is formed by explosive eruptions or collapse of the summit area of the volcano. Craters can vary in size and shape depending on the volcano's activity.
What is the function of a volcano crater?
A volcanic crater does not have a function, per se. Rather, it is formed as a natural after-effect of volcanic eruptions. When volcanoes explosively erupt, molten rock is thrown clear of the main vent, where it can cool and harden; gradually, this builds the elevation of rock surrounding the vent, leaving a lower pool in the center of the volcano, and developing a crater (or bowl) shape.
