Any of the volcanoes around Portland and Seattle could blow at any time. In Alaska, volcanoes are erupting quite regularly. It is really difficult to tell which US volcano is likely to erupt, next.
But . . . Mt. Rainier, in the Seattle area, is expected to erupt in our lifetimes, and the immense volcano in and under Yellowstone Park could erupt at any time. There are a couple of volcanos in northern California that could erupt, as well.
While all volcanoes in the US have the potential to erupt, Mount St. Helens in Washington state is currently one of the most closely monitored due to its history of recent activity. However, the likelihood of any specific volcano erupting in your lifetime is difficult to predict with certainty.

Where is a volcano most likely to erupt in the US?
Hawaii.
Which category of volcano is most likely to erupt in the near future?
An active volcano
When is a volcano most likely to erupt?
A volcano is most likely to erupt when the pressure from the magma chamber overcomes the strength of the rock holding it in place. This can occur when there is an increase in magma supply, changes in gas content, or disruptions in the surrounding rock. Monitoring systems can help predict when a volcano is likely to erupt.

How do you rank a volcanic stage from least likely to erupt to most likely to erupt?
Volcanic stages, from least likely to most likely to erupt, are typically ranked as follows: extinct (no chance of eruption), dormant (unlikely but possible), restless (showing signs of activity), and active (currently erupting or likely to erupt). The ranking is based on the volcano's historical behavior, monitoring data, and signs of increasing activity.

What is a volcano that does not erupt called?
It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.
Do volcanoes erupt only once?
Most volcanoes are active for a long time before dieing. So no an average volcano erupts more than once in its lifetime.
Will lake toba super volcano erupt again?
The Lake Toba super volcano is a dormant volcano and there is currently no indication that it will erupt again in the near future. However, it is monitored closely by scientists for any signs of potential activity.
Suppose a volcano that is about to erupt contains mafic magma. The mafic magma has a very low silica content. what types of igneous rocks will the volcano most likely form?
basalt
When there's a volcano erupt is there an earthquake?
Occasionally it depends on how big the volcano is but most of the time no
