What causes the stripes this crater?
I tool this zenithal shot of the Von Seebach crater located in the Rincon de la Vieja volcanic complex in Costa Rica.
I was wondering if anyone would know the reason for the stripes/cracks present on it?
To add some more info too, they were fairly deep and you could go inside of them, there was a lot of vegetation inside, there was a spring in there too, which ran off to the larger crack on the side of the cone (bottom right part of the image)

Dearest Volcanologists - I have a question about volcanoes and sea level
I'm curious if it's even within the realm of possibility that a massive volcano in the middle of the ocean could raise sea levels substantially.
For instance - 7,300 years ago there was some massive volcano off the coast of Japan from what I understand.... did that raise sea levels? what about one twice as large as that? Would that raise sea levels?
This is for a fictional world building exercise, but one that I want to be rooted in reality... so I'm trying to determine whether a massive (or a series of smaller) volcanoes could catastrophically raise sea levels.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
edit: I should note that I'm not talking about a temporary spike in sea level but a long term change

PS, what kind of unconformity would this be? A nonconquarrmity? An anthropoconformity? 😆

Have you seen a volcano before answer would be yes right? When you go to the crater of a volcano you would expect a deep hole into the underworld but instead its just a big ass crater with no hole. Where does it go?

Can someone help identify which volcano this is? It's a stratovolcano. Need to know what kind of eruption style and what the lavas are composed of.
