Definición

  • A maar is a broad, low-relief volcanic crater caused by a phreatomagmatic eruption (an explosion which occurs when groundwater comes into contact with hot lava or magma). A maar characteristically fills with water to form a relatively shallow flat-floored crater lake. (Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maar)
