Geologists think seamounts are extinct volcanoes because they have a conical shape and evidence of volcanic activity such as lava flows and volcanic rock formations. Additionally, seamounts are often found in areas with active volcanism, suggesting they may have been formed by volcanic processes in the past.
It is unlikely for a volcano to form off the Atlantic coast of the US because this region is not a typical location for volcanic activity. Volcanoes usually form along tectonic plate boundaries, which are not prevalent in the area off the East Coast.
There are approximately 1,500 potentially active volcanoes on Earth, some of which are considered dangerous due to their history of eruptions or their proximity to populated areas. The specific number of dangerous volcanoes can vary depending on factors such as volcanic activity and monitoring efforts.
Venus definitely have more volcanoes than Mars. Yes, Venus and Mars have pretty much all extinct and dormant volcanoes, but they're still volcanoes. Think of it like this: when someone dies or is in a coma, that doesn't mean they're not human. Yes I know that was dark deal with it :P
Yes, there are extinct volcanoes in the Tayside region of Scotland, such as the Dundee Law and the Sidlaw Hills. These volcanoes are part of the geological history of the area but are no longer active.
•Volcanoes are found in three different states-•Active which means: Erupted recently and expected to erupt again.•Dormant which is: A volcano which has not erupted in recorded history.•Extinct this means: A volcano which is never going to erupt again.
how do geologists think earths atmosphere is formed
With some exceptions, volcanoes are generally not dangerous to people. Your chance of being killed by a volcano is 1 in 80000 over your lifetime, which is far less than your chance of being killed in say a motor vehicle accident (1 in 67). There are also two classifications for inactive volcano's. Volcanoes which have not erupted for a significant amount of time are known as dormant volcanoes. Volcanoes which have not erupted in human history are known as extinct volcanoes. Extinct volcanoes are never expected to erupt again, and are therefore not dangerous unless they have been misclassified. So no, I do not think that all volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous. The only dangerous volcanoes are dormant volcanoes that explode suddenly with little or no warning.

you people think there are about 1000 volcanoes .

geologists affect our lives in the following ways. they monitor seismic activities within the earths interior and are able to warn us of impending earthquakes and impending shockwaves geologists monitor volcanoes and are able tom predict when the next eruption will occur and the expected magnitude geologists are also important in the process of drilling boreholes as they have crucial information on the type of soil found in different areas and they can offer crucial advice in the process of drilling bore holes geologists also moniter the earths magnetic fields and can use this fields to date rocks which can then tell us crucial movements of tectonic plates
no, but i think they might almost be extinct!
No. There's some evidence of recent (geologically speaking, this means within the last ten million years or so) lava flows, but we have never observed any active volcanic eruptions on Mars. Some areologists (think geologists, except specializing in Mars rather than Earth) think volcanic activity is still possible on Mars, others think that Mars' volcanoes are now extinct (the mountains created by them still exist, of course; Olympus Mons is the solar system's largest known volcanic feature).
The movement of the Earth's plates is known as plate tectonics. Geologists think the plates move due to a build up of extreme heat in the Earth's crust.
