caldera
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)

kaldera
Ogromne količine lave, koje su za relativno kratko vreme emitovane u vidu rastresitih piroklastita, učinile su magmatske rezervoare u plitkim delovima Zemljine kore delimično ispražnjenim, a to je često dovodilo do sleganja tla i obrazovanja cirkularnih depresija koje nazivamo kalderama. U Srbiji su veoma dobro očuvane gajtanska kaldera u leckom vulkanogenom kompleksu, kao i više manjih kaldera u rudničko-boračko-kotleničkoj provinciji. (Znanje.org)
Novonastali uslovi, toplo i plitko more, bili su idealni za stvaranje kolonija sprudova na prostranim površinama vulkanskih kaldera ili zarubljenih vulkanskih aparata. (SciTech)
Erupcije vulkana iz davnih vremena mogu se videti danas u obilku kaldera. To su veliki okrugli ožiljci, često prečnika nekoliko kilometara, ostali nakon erupcija vulkana u proslosti. (MyCity)
