They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).
The volcano is said to be extinct if it hasn't erupted for at least 10,000 years.
Mauna Kea in Hawaii is considered unlikely to erupt again, as it is a dormant shield volcano with no historical record of recent eruptions.
It is impossible to make long-term predictions of when a volcano will next erupt.
False. A dormant volcano is not the same as an inactive volcano. A dormant volcano has not erupted in a long time but still has the potential to erupt again, while an inactive volcano is unlikely to erupt again.

If it 'unlikely' to erupt again but it could, it's dormant.

Volcanoes can be either active, dormant, or extinct. Dormant would be the closest match to the description "unlikely to erupt".

active- or live volcano is one that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future dormant- volcano to awaken in the future and become active extinct- or dead volcano is unlikely to erupt again
False. A dormant volcano is not the same as an inactive volcano. A dormant volcano has not erupted in a long time but still has the potential to erupt again, while an inactive volcano is unlikely to erupt again.
It is extremely unlikely. Currently, there is no indication that something is developing.
A volcano that is thought to be incapable of further eruptions is said to be extinct.A volcano that is inactive but not extinct is said to be dormant.
The death of a volcano means that the volcano has become extinct and is no longer showing any signs of activity. This can happen when the volcano runs out of magma to erupt or when the volcanic system becomes inactive. Once a volcano is considered dead, it is unlikely to erupt again.
The common term is 'active'.
