Explanation:

Craters are formed by the outward explosion of rocks and other materials from a volcano. Calderas are formed by the inward collapse of a volcano's magma chamber. Craters are usually much smaller features than calderas, and calderas are sometimes considered giant craters.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

C) Craters are formed by ejecting material during volcanic explosions while calderas are formed from inward collapse of volcano tops during explosive eruptions.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Calderas form when the volcanic eruption or the eruption of lava creates a huge empty magmatic chamber below the surface of the earth which later form a depression due to collapsing back into the chamber.  

Calderas are not visible with a naked eye; they can only be seen on images taken from out of space. An example of the gigantic caldera is Yellowstone National Park. Craters, however, results from volcanic eruptions which cause vents were magma and other material escapes to form a cone shape. An example is Mt. St Helen.

, permafrost is ground, including rock or (cryonic) soil, at or below the freezing point of water 0 °C (32 °F) for two or more years. Most permafrost is located in high latitudes (in and around the Arctic and Antarctic regions), but at lower latitudes alpine permafrost occurs at higher elevations. Ground ice is not always present, as may be in the case of non-porous bedrock, but it frequently occurs and it may be in amounts exceeding the potential hydraulic saturation of the ground material.

How do debt repayment and structural adjustment terms hamper economic development? A. Only wealthy nations need to repay their d
miss Akunina [59]
Let's look at the option:

A. Only wealthy nations need to repay their debts, so it slows their progress.
-this is not true, as not only wealthy nations need to pay back debt, but all nations

B. This is no longer a problem because debt repayment was completely erased after World War II.
-this is not true: this is still a problem, and quite a big one.

C. Both measures rob a developing nation of money it could use to invest in social welfare improvements.
Well, debt repayment does rob developing nation of money that it could use for other purposes: so it's true! (structural adjustment doesn't rob but it maintains the state in which the nation needs to pay back the debt)- this is the correct answer!

D. They always penalize highly developed nations rather than underdeveloped ones. - This is not true, as both countries are penalized, and the underdeveloped ones even more so.
