calderas, plural;
  1. A large volcanic crater, typically one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano

  1. a large crater caused by the violent explosion of a volcano that collapses into a depression
  2. A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption such as the ones at Yellowstone National Park in the US and Glen Coe in Scotland. They are sometimes confused with volcanic craters. ...
  3. Caldera is the 1976 debut album of Jazz fusion band Caldera.
  4. Caldera was a Latin band that combined jazz, funk and rock with a wide variety of Latin music. 1970s fusion explorers like Return to Forever and Weather Report influenced Caldera, but its members were also influenced by everything from Earth, Wind & Fire's soul/funk to Afro-Cuban salsa, ...
  5. Caldera is a seaport in Copiapó Province in the region of Atacama. It has an excellent harbor, protected by breakwaters, being the port city for the productive mining district centering on Copiapó to which it is connected by the first railroad constructed in Chile.
  6. San Carlos, also known simply as Caldera, is the second highest peak in Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. As its alternative name suggests, it is a volcanic peak, rising to a height of 2261 metres.
  7. When a volcano erupts, a large volume of magma (lava) can spew onto the Earth’s surface. When this large volume of material is removed from beneath the volcano, it can cause it to collapse into the emptied cavern to form a depression. This depression or basin is called a caldera. ...
  8. A large volcanic depression up to 50 km across, formed by a collapse during and after an eruption. The northern part of Lake Taupo is a caldera.
  9. a volcanic cone where the original top and centre have been removed either through a massive eruption or through collapse leaving the base of the cone as a large ring-shaped ridge.
  10. A caldera is a large, usually circular depression at the summit of a volcano formed when magma is withdrawn or erupted from a shallow underground magma reservoir. Source: U.S. Geological Survey
  11. the crater formed when a volcano collapses into its magma chamber.
  12. The Spanish word for cauldron, a basin-shaped volcanic depression; by definition, at least a mile in diameter. Such large depressions are typically formed by the subsidence of volcanoes. Crater Lake occupies the best-known caldera in the Cascades.
  13. A large volcanic depression containing volcanic vents.
  14. A large depression (hole) in the ground formed by very large eruptions.  Some calderas are 10 to 25 kilometers across (about the area of Anchorage, AK) and deeper than 100 football fields standing end to end.
  15. A large, more or less circular, basin-shaped volcanic depression whose diameter is many times greater than the volcanic vent.
  16. On some volcanoes, the magma chamber collapses after a violent eruption and a caldera forms, which is just a large, bowl-shaped crater.
  17. a crater more that 1.6 km (1 mi.) in diameter formed by the collapse of the summit of a volcano.
  18. A circular, steep sided depression that remains in the aftermath of an explosive eruption and collapse of a composite volcano. A caldera may sometimes contain a lake such as found at Crater Lake, Oregon, the remnant of Mt. Mazama, which erupted about 6,500 years BP.
  19. Bequeathed by large glaciers , greater deepening , which included around is by mountains .
  20. An indentation in the Earth which is formed by a collapse after a volcanic eruption. When magma is rapidly ejected from beneath the surface of the Earth, an empty cavern is left behind. The weight of the lava above the surface can cause this empty space to collapse.
  21. Large circular depression formed by explosion or collapse of a volcano.
  22. A volcanic depression much larger than the original crater, having a diameter of at least 1 km (ex. Crater Lake in Oregon).
