A volcano that is erupting or has erupted in the last 100 years is called an active volcano.
False. An active volcano is one that is currently erupting, has erupted recently, or is showing signs of erupting in the near future. A volcano that has not erupted in a long time is considered dormant.
A volcano that has erupted at least once during the past 10,000 years is called an active volcano. Active volcanos can be further classified as erupting or dormant. An erupting volcano is an active volcano that is currently having an eruption. A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but that is due to erupt again.
An extinct volcano is one that is not expected to erupt again because it has been dormant for thousands of years. In contrast, an active volcano is one that is currently erupting or has erupted recently.
No, a volcano is called a volcano regardless of whether or not it is erupting. A volcano is a landform created by the accumulation of magma below the Earth's surface and can be dormant, active, or extinct. Eruption is just one of the activities associated with volcanoes, but they are still considered volcanoes even when they are not erupting.
An active volcano
Mount Etna, in Sicily (Italy)
The common term is 'active'. This contrasts to a volcano that has not recently erupted - which is termed 'dormant'.

No, Extinct = Not likely explode again Dormant = hasnt't erupted for hundreds or thousands of years but may still erupt Active = Recently erupted, and is likely to erupt
