            • caldera
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • A vast depression at the top of a volcanic cone, formed when an eruption substantially empties the reservoir of magma beneath the cone's summit. Eventually the summit collapses inward, creating a caldera. A caldera may be more than 15 kilometers in diameter and more than 1000 meters deep. CENGAGE Learning
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Subsequent eruptions from the Long Valley magma chamber were confined within the caldera with extrusions of relatively hot (crystal-free) rhyolite 700,000 to 600,000 years ago as the caldera floor was upwarped to form the resurgent dome followed by extrusions of cooler, crystal-rich moat rhyolite at 200,000-year intervals (500,000, 300,000, and 100,000 years ago) in clockwise succession around the resurgent dome. - USGS
            • Calderas tend to form after a series of large eruptions. Usually a new volcano starts to grow inside, eventually covering it. - About.com: Geology
            • Over the course of several hundred years following the creation of the caldera, rain and snow filled the basin to a depth of 1,943 feet (592 meters). Crater Lake today is the nation’s deepest lake. - Crater lake

            • カルデラとは，ポルトガル語で「大鍋」の意味を持ち，火山に見られる巨大な凹みである．巨大とは概ね直径2km以上のものを指す．隕石が衝突してできたクレーターとは明瞭に区別される．地下からマグマが一斉に噴出することで，地表が陥没するものを「陥没カルデラ」と呼ぶ．巨大噴火でできるカルデラは，陥没カルデラであることが多い．言い換えれば，カルデラの存在は，火山が過去に巨大噴火を起こしたことの証明である． 日本地質学会 - by nordlys75
          • Example sentence(s)
