Definition from
CENGAGE Learning:
A vast depression at the top of a volcanic cone, formed when an eruption substantially empties the reservoir of magma beneath the cone's summit. Eventually the summit collapses inward, creating a caldera. A caldera may be more than 15 kilometers in diameter and more than 1000 meters deep.
Example sentences:
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)

Definition from
Wikipedia:
Калдера је велики морфолошки облик вулкана, сличан кратеру али много већих димензија, обично пречника неколико километара. Овај облик настаје урушавањем вулканске купе након вулканске ерупције. Реч калдера долази од шпанске речи caldera што значи „котао“.
Example sentences:
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)
