|
| Large plinian eruptions sometimes result in the withdrawal of so much magma from below a volcano that part of it collapses to form a large depression called a caldera. |
|
| Situated at 5,400 feet, it's encircled by jagged peaks that make you feel you're cupped inside a caldera. |
|
| The structures are bounded by a series of extensional ring faults that exhibit similarities to salt withdrawal basins, caldera collapse features and impact craters. |
|
| This type of volcano is called a caldera, and is one of the most violent. |
|
| He ends with the story of Anak Krakatoa, the new volcano rising in the caldera of the old volcano. and the way that life is taking hold in a doomed landscape. |
|
| One particularly large eruption, about 28 million years ago, left in its wake a huge caldera, or crater-like basin, about 15 km in diameter and about 2 km above sea level. |
|
| Faulting and deformation may be concentrated at a caldera because the caldera structure and associated magmatic system form weak zones in the crust. |
|
| This is in direct contrast to earlier work which argues that these calderas were not united until a central caldera formed late in the volcano's lifespan. |
|
| A supervolcano usually has a large caldera and can produce devastation on an enormous, sometimes continental, scale. |
|
| Pressure built beneath the plug in the caldera, eventually resulting in a catastrophic explosion of pyroclastic shrapnel and ash. |
|
| The northern side of the island contains a caldera, Sabale, with two smaller volcanic cones within it. |
|
| Oregon's only national park, Crater Lake National Park, comprises the caldera surrounding Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the United States. |
|
| Helvellyn lies within a geological structure which is interpreted as evidence of a volcanic caldera. |
|
| Some caldera basins evolved with gently sloping sides, however, due to the deposition of material from a series of explosions and a gentler collapse of the structure. |
|
| The silica-rich compositions are similar to those associated with the most violent eruptions on Earth, and scientists believe that the ice cap on top of Mount Edziza might be covering at least one volcanic caldera or crater. |
|
| The plateau also hosts the country's largest lake, Lake Taupo, nestled in the caldera of one of the world's most active supervolcanoes. |
|
| Sometimes the latter are called caldera lakes, although often no distinction is made. |
|
| These were deposited in water, probably in a caldera lake, as the volcanic rocks weathered and were eroded. |
|
|
|
| Structures in these rocks suggest the faults were still active and the caldera was still subsiding. |
|
| This Helvellyn Tuff is found only within the boundary faults of the caldera, and mainly in its western half. |
|
| The archipelago is formed by high points on the rim of the caldera of a submarine volcano that forms a seamount. |
|
| In the distance is the 350 m high wall of the 16 km diameter caldera, formed by enormously explosive eruptions of about 100 cubic km of magma between 170 thousand and 1.3 million years ago. |

|
| Top is a three-dimensional oblique view of the summit caldera of Albor Tholus, a volcano in the Elysium region. |
|
