Which of the followi ng features is the product of vulcanicity?

Vulcanicity refers to the process where molten rock (magma) is forced into the earth's crust or onto its surface. A caldera is a primary volcanic landform characterized by a greatly enlarged depression, often several kilometers across [2]. It forms when a violent eruption causes the partial emptying of a volcano's main magma chamber, leading to the collapse or subsidence of the volcanic edifice into the void beneath [4]. In contrast, fold mountains and geosynclines are primarily products of tectonic compression and orogenesis (mountain building) rather than direct volcanic activity [3]. While volcanic mountains (continental arcs) exist, 'fold mountains' specifically refer to the buckling of sedimentary layers. Escarpments are typically formed by faulting or erosion. Therefore, the caldera is the only feature listed that is a direct product of vulcanicity [4].
