- Caldera - Wikipedia
The average caldera diameter on Mars is 48 km (30 mi), smaller than Venus Calderas on Earth are the smallest of all planetary bodies and vary from 1 6–80 km (1–50 mi) as a maximum [40]
- Calderas - National Geographic Society
Calderas vary in size from one to 100 kilometers (0 62 to 62 miles) in diameter Some calderas form a lake as the bowl-shaped depression fills with water A famous example is Crater Lake, in Oregon
- What is a Caldera? How Do Calderas Form? - Geology. com
Calderas are some of the most spectacular features on Earth They are large volcanic craters that form by two different methods: 1) an explosive volcanic eruption; or, 2) collapse of surface rock into an empty magma chamber
- Calderas - U. S. National Park Service
Nonexplosive calderas form on the summit of shield volcanoes during especially large eruptions of lava flows at either the summit or along flank rift zones Calderas are large, generally with a diameter greater than 0 6 miles (1 km) The largest calderas are tens of miles (kms) wide

- Caldera | Volcanic, Formation, Crater | Britannica
Caldera, large bowl-shaped volcanic depression more than one kilometre in diameter and rimmed by infacing scarps Calderas usually, if not always, form by the collapse of the top of a volcanic cone or group of cones because of removal of the support formerly furnished by an underlying body of magma
- How Volcanoes Work - Calderas
There are three resurgent calderas in the United States less than 1 5 million years old -- the Valles Caldera in New Mexico, the Long Valley Caldera in California, and the Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming With diameters ranging from 15 to 100 km, resurgent calderas dwarf those of Crater-Lake type
- Caldera systems—a worldwide family that is more than just Yellowstone!
The USA is hardly alone in playing host to caldera systems, though Calderas can be found in volcanic areas all around the world!
