Which volcanic event created one of the largest known collapse calderas in the Pacific Northwest?
Quick Answer
The eruption that formed Crater Lake in Oregon created one of the best-known collapse calderas in the Pacific Northwest. It happened about 7,700 years ago.
The Full Story
Crater Lake in Oregon formed when Mount Mazama collapsed after a massive eruption about 7,700 years ago. The eruption emptied much of the magma chamber and caused the summit to cave in, creating a deep caldera. Over time, rain and snow filled the basin to form today’s lake. Crater Lake is famous both for its beauty and for the dramatic volcanic event that created it.
