Hello! I'm a student working on this page as a class project. I'm aiming to improve the page by clarifying some wording and definitions, adding additional subheadings with relevant information, and introducing more references. I am planning on adding sections on the effects of sector collapse on a volcano and its magmatic system and a section further explaining the processes leading to sector collapse. Please chime in with any suggestions you have for the article! Sbuett (talk) 18:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Slides vs. implosions

So, is a sector collapse only marked by a landslide moving material laterally away from the peak, or can the term be used to mean an implosion giving rise to a caldera, too? JingleJim (talk) 13:41, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

I've never seen this term used for caldera collapse. Volcanoguy 17:14, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
