Main Body

Formation of Calderas:

1Basic / Basaltic Lava: Comes out quickly as low viscosity. OR
2Acidic Lava: High viscosity & high Silica cotent explode & released violently forming large lava mountain
3Cooling of Lava: Forms calderas as large volcanic mountain formed by cooling of lava on Earth's surface
4Extrusive Landform: as formed & outside Earth crust by cooling & solidification of lava. Eg Iceland Caldeira
5Dormazey: can be prolaged until Mantle plume thus crust & supplies lava for eruphor of huge scale.
4Pyroclastic Material: Spewed by caldera can bring colors & beauty to sky.
5Occasional Eruphon: Adds height of more lava material on Surface.
