Answer:
Creator is considered to be a larger depression than caldera.
Explanation:
- Caldera is formed by a larger explosion of magma or lava that leaves the underground chambers and caused the volcanic matter to be released above the ground levels. A creator is seen as a vent of volcanic activity. Like the Crater Lake of Oregon, USA. Formed by the collapse of a massive stratovolcano.
- There can be many calderas and formed around a ring-shaped pattern. collapse can be found to hundreds of thousands of meters.
