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)

калдера
Definition from
own experience or research:
Калдера е голем морфолошки облик на вулканот, сличен на кратер, но со многу поголеми димензии и со пречник од неколку километри. Овој облик настанува со раздробување на вулканската купа по настанатата вулканска ерупција. Зборот калдера доаѓа од шпанскиот збор caldera што значи „котел“.
Example sentences:
Санторини всушност е она што останало од една голема вулканска експлозија, уништувајќи ги раните населби на она што порано било само еден остров и предизвикало да се создаде сегашната геолошка калдера. (Wikipedia)
Неговиот кратер (или т.н. калдера) е со дијаметар од околу 80 km и длабочина до 1 km. (www.astronomija.com.mk)
