Caldera

Caldera

caldera is a large depression formed when a volcano erupts and collapses.

During a volcanic eruptionmagma present in the magma chamber underneath the volcano is expelled, often forcefully. When the magma chamber empties, the support that the magma had provided inside the chamber disappears. As a result, the sides and top of the volcano collapse inward

e.g. Ngorongoro
