What is Caldera?

Kaldera is a volcanic structure that is caused by the collapse of the Earth around the volcano. At first glance, it often looks a lot like a volcanic crater, but the process of its creation differs from the process of traditional craters and is therefore distinguished between them. One of the most famous calders in the world lies under Crater Lake, stunning volcanic lakes in the United States. The Greek island of Santorini also boasts a remarkable island that forms a natural port. They can form in several different ways. In many cases, volcanic eruption empties the magmatic chambers under the volcano and these chambers collapse and create deep depression in the ground. In other cases, the caldera is created by a gradual process of decline caused by slowly weakened countries. In the case of erosion calds, the formation is caused by the weather in the area.

The largest type is known as reviving the calders. This is due to the widespread collapse of magmatic chambers that are not associated with a particular volcano or point of eruption, and are the largest volcanic structures on theme. The level of volcanic activity needed to create a reviving calder is quite considerable and would cause great damage.

Some volcanologists prefer the "volcanic crater collapse" over the "calder", while others refer to these structures as "boilers". In fact, this term comes from the Latin word for the "boiler", reflecting the shape of the classic calder, so both terms are quite suitable. It may be difficult to recognize the difference between the calder and the crater, especially in the case of a sleeping volcano. The key thing to know about the craters is that they occur around volcanic holes, which is to stand in one many more perilous proposition.

Some calders are so large that they cannot be identified from the ground because people do not realize that they walk or live in them. In these cases, satellite photographs revealed the existence of the caldera, a surprise of the people who have settled in these regions. OstAtmates on the bottom of the ocean were identified with Sonar technology, which was used to determine the depth of the ocean to produce auxiliary maps.
