The tag crater=yes was sometimes used to map a crater of unspecified origin. crater=volcano has also been used a few times for craters of volcnaic origin.
There may be several types of crater, be it natural or from an impact
For volcano crater rims the currently proposed mapping is:
- natural=cliff or either of natural=ridge, natural=arete plus
- geological=volcanic_caldera_rim
Several other tags may be related or similar:
- natural=crater - a crater of unspecified origin: volcanic, explosion, meteor, etc. - similar to crater=yes
- historic=bomb_crater - a crater formed by the explosion of a bomb
- historic=meteor_crater - a crater formed by the impact of a meteor
- natural=caldera - a caldera formed by volcanic activity - less common than geological=volcanic_caldera_rim
- natural=sinkhole - a sinkhole, formed by the collapse of an underground space such as a cave or mine.
