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.
When a volcano collapses into itself at its top, it forms a large crater called a caldera. Calderas are formed when the magma chamber of a volcano empties during an eruption, causing the summit to collapse inward.
When the roof of a volcano collapses, it can form a large crater known as a caldera. Calderas are circular depressions usually larger than the original volcanic vent and are often filled with water or subsequent eruptions.
When a volcanic cone collapses it forms a caldera.

When the top of a volcanic mountain collapses, it forms a volcanic crater or caldera. This creates a bowl-shaped depression at the summit of the volcano.
When a larger volcano collapses in on itself, it typically forms a caldera, which is a large depression resulting from the explosive eruption and the subsequent emptying of the magma chamber beneath the volcano. The weight of the volcanic structure causes the ground to sink, creating a basin that can fill with water to form lakes. This collapse can also trigger secondary volcanic activity, including the formation of new vents or smaller cones within the caldera. Such events can significantly alter the landscape and affect local ecosystems.
The large circular depression at the top of a volcano that forms when the roof of the magma chamber collapses is called a caldera. Calderas can be huge in size and are formed during explosive volcanic eruptions or when the magma chamber empties and the summit collapses into the void left behind.
The basin shaped crater at the top of a mountain is called a caldera. It forms when a volcano collapses into itself after an eruption, creating a large, circular depression.
