Question

extinct conical volcanoes often form crater lakes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes extinct conical volcanoes form crater lakes .

The cone shape of the volcanoes is actually formed by the cooling of the molten lava which flow out during an eruption .

Sometimes due to heavy pressure the volcano may undergo a heavy explosion resulting in the blowing up of the cone.Thus the volcano calms down i.e.; the volcano becomes extinct due to the loss of pressure and heat in the earth. The area where the cone persisted now looks like a depression .During the rains ,water gets filled in this depression resulting in the formation of crater lakes.
