Caldera structure is similar on all of these planetary bodies, though the size varies considerably. The average caldera diameter on Venus is 68 km (42 mi). The average caldera diameter on Io is close to 40 km (25 mi), and the mode is 6 km (3.7 mi); Tvashtar Paterae is likely the largest caldera with a diameter of 290 km (180 mi). The average ...
Caldera – Cauldron-like volcanic feature formed by the emptying of a magma chamber; Cinder cone – Steep hill of pyroclastic fragments around a volcanic vent; Complex volcano – Landform of more than one related volcanic centre; Cryptodome – Roughly circular protrusion from slowly extruded viscous volcanic lava
A topographic map of Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania, the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera, which formed when an immense volcano erupted and collapsed on itself 2–3 million years ago. The floor of the caldera is 600 metres (2,000 ft) below its rim and covers more than 260 square kilometres (100 sq mi).
The caldera is the enormous volcanic crater left from the last time Yellowstone experienced a giant eruption, 640,000 years ago. It covers an area about 30 by 45 miles .
Valles Caldera is the younger of two calderas known at this location, having collapsed over and buried the older Toledo Caldera, which in turn may have collapsed over yet older calderas. The associated Cerros del Rio volcanic field , which forms the eastern Pajarito Plateau and the Caja del Rio , is older than the Toledo Caldera.
The Misema Caldera is in the order of 3,500 to 4,000 km 2 (1,400 to 1,500 sq mi), making the complex similar to the Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming, Lake Toba in Indonesia and strikingly similar in structure to the Olympus Mons caldera on Mars. [2] As a result, the Blake River Group is best categorized as a meganested caldera complex. [3]
Caldera lakes in contrast can be quite large and long-lasting. For instance, Lake Toba in Indonesia formed after its eruption around 75,000 years ago. At around 100 kilometres (62 mi) by 30 kilometres (19 mi) in extent and 505 metres (1,657 ft) deep at its deepest point, Lake Toba is the largest crater lake in the world.
Kaldereta or caldereta [1] [2] is a goat meat [3] stew from the Philippines.Variations of the dish use beef, [4] chicken, [5] or pork. Commonly, the goat meat is stewed with vegetables and liver paste.
