Modelling a caldera formation
Caldera volcanoes are violent eruptions that throw magma, ash and rock across large areas. After the eruption, the volcano collapses into the space left by the empty magma chamber, forming a very large crater.
In this model, the balloon represents the magma chamber. The hole that is formed represents the crater.
Note that the video does not have a soundtrack.
