The mountain collapses into an emptied magma chamber
When a volcano collapses, it can form a crater or caldera. A crater is a bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano, while a caldera is a much larger depression that can form when the center of the volcano collapses. Both features can result in a large, empty space left behind by the volcanic activity.
Mount Rainier does not have a caldera at its summit. It is a stratovolcano with a glacier-capped peak in the Cascade Range of Washington state.
When a volcanic cone collapses it forms a caldera.

A caldera may form on a volcano.

A caldera is a large depression in a volcano. Most calderas form in one of two ways: by collapse of the top of a composite volcano after the magma chamber is drained.
No, Mount Vesuvius is a composite volcano and its latest eruption was in 1944. Some sources say that in that eruption, Mt. Vesuvius collapsed in a caldera, but it didn't. FYI: A caldera is a volcano that had an extremely explosive eruption that emptied the magma chamber, causing the volcano to collapse in on itself. An example of a caldera is Crater Lake in Oregon.
I actually had problems with this question on my crossword puzzle. The answer is actually a caldera. ---------------------------------- A volcanic crater would also be a correct answer.
It would have to be a caldera. A caldera is a depression in the ground, so it is logical that one would contain a lake (and some do). A volcanic neck is a pillar or mountain of rock that solidified inside a volcano, and so could not form a lake.
