Best Answer

active volcanoes release gases ash and lava. they make tremes or earthquakes and have a history of eruptions. the ground temperature increases and bulges appear on surface.

dormant volcanoes don't have much happening. now and then it releases earthquakes. it has a history of eruptions and it could erupt again.

extinct volcanoes cannot erupt again. it is done and finished. it no longer has gases and/or magma
