Description
Caldera
occupied

Lake
Tazawa
,
seen
from
Mt
.
Komagatake
,
Backbone
Range
.
--
Lake
Tazawa
, the
deepest
lake
in
Japan
,
is
nearly
circular
in
shape
and
about
three
and
one-half
miles
across
.
It
is
nearly
1,400
feet
deep
and
occupies
a
large
depression
of
volcanic
origin
,
called
a
caldera
. This
depression
has
steeply
sloping
sides
and a
mostly
flat
bottom
. The
caldera
formed
when
huge
amounts
of
volcanic
material
were
erupted
leading
to the
collapse
of the
resulting
volcano
into the
vacated
,
empty
chamber
below
. At
least
one
small
cone
,
formed
by
later
volcanic
activity
,
rises
above
the
lake
floor
, but not to the
lake
surface
. There are
other
calderas
in
Japan
,
including
Lake
Towada
north
of
Morioka
.
Crater
Lake
in
Oregon
is
a
similar
feature
in the
United
States
