Crater Lake, located in Oregon, was formed about 7,700 years ago after the eruption of Mount Mazama, a stratovolcano. The eruption, which is believed to have been one of the largest in North America, led to the collapse of the volcano's summit, creating a caldera that eventually filled with water to form the lake. The most significant eruption occurred around 5,700 years ago, resulting in the deposition of volcanic ash and creating the stunning blue lake we see today. This event is a key part of the geological history of the region and highlights the dynamic nature of volcanic landscapes.

Can you predict the exact day when a current volcano will erupt?

No. Although scientists can monitor signs that a volcano is getting ready to erupt they are nowhere near predicting the day a volcano will erupt. They might not even be able to predict the month or even the year that it will erupt.
