When a volcano collapses into itself at its top, it forms a large crater called a caldera. Calderas are formed when the magma chamber of a volcano empties during an eruption, causing the summit to collapse inward.
When a volcanic cone collapses it forms a caldera.

When the top of a volcanic mountain collapses, it forms a volcanic crater or caldera. This creates a bowl-shaped depression at the summit of the volcano.

It forms a 'caldera'.
An volcanic eruption can sometimes be so powerful, the volcano collapses onto itself and forms a wide crater. Eventually rain will fill that creator, forming a volcanic lake. An example of this is crater lake.

A caldera forms when the dome of a stratovolcano collapses following a large eruption, emptying the magma chamber beneath the volcano. This collapse creates a large, bowl-shaped depression in the Earth's surface.

Caldera
Calderas form during massive explosve volcanic eruptions. In such eruptions so much material is expelled that it leaves a large empty space under the volcano. The volcano then collapses into this space, forming a giant crater.
The basin shaped crater at the top of a mountain is called a caldera. It forms when a volcano collapses into itself after an eruption, creating a large, circular depression.

The verb for lava coming out of a volcano is 'erupt.Lava erupts from volcano then flows down the flanks.For very viscous lavas, the lava forms a dome in the mouth of the volcano (which, when it gets too big collapses to form pyroclastic flows), in this instance the eruption is a growth, dome growth!
