Yes, extinct volcanoes are volcanoes that are cut off from their supply of lava. Some volcanoes look extinct but it might just be a long time since they've erupted. Many volcanoes may remain dormant for hundreds to thousands of years.
No. If a volcano erupts then it is not extinct; during its period of inactivity it would have been dormant.
To add to this.
Two examples are the long-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat, thought to be extinct before activity resumed in 1995 and Fourpeaked Mountain in Alaska, which, before its September 2006 eruption, had not erupted since before 8000 BC and had long been thought to be extinct.
I am sure the odds are the same as winning the lottery every year for life.
Yes. There are three ways to describe a volcano's activity; there can be active, dormant, or extinct volcanoes. Active volcanoes have erupted recently. Dormant volcanoes aren't erupting right now, but vulcanologist's expect they could erupt at any time. Extinct volcanoes haven't erupted for tens of thousands of years, and aren't expected to erupt again. Gsophia, do you know dormant means inactive?
An extinct volcano is a volcano which has not erupted for so long a time that it is generally accepted that it will not erupt ever again. So, although they almost never do, and the answer you're looking for is no, it is possibly (though reallyunlikely) that an extinct volcano may erupt.
There are hundreds of volcanoes on the earth, and several dozen that are currently active.
Yes. Although Scientest arn't sure I'm gonna' say that yes there is extinct vocanoes on Venus. (:
No. The sun is made entirely of gas and plasma. There is no place for volcanoes to form.
venus - active volcanos injecting sulfate into atmosphere, heat from radioactive decayearth - active volcanos, heat from radioactive decaymars - extinct volcanos, no activity in milllion of years, heat from radioactive decayio - active volcanos, heat from mechanical strain from orbit shapeThere are probably others.
They are dormant volcanoes.
The extinct volcanos name is Diamond Head
Venus currently has some active volcanoes with lava flows, but the vast majority are inactive, dormant, or extinct. Venus does not have plate movement, which causes volcanoes on Earth. The driving force is likely heat rising from hot spots in the lower crust or upper mantle, as is seen in some volcanic seamounts on Earth.
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
there are no volcanoes on venus

lava and volcanos
Because there is no more magma in them.
Iron, Rocks, and Volcanos
Because it has the most volcanos.
They are dormant volcanoes.
We do not know for sure but over geological time millions of volcanoes have become extinct.
When volcanos stay dormant they are classified as extinct
Venus is a rocky planet with a very thick atmosphere due to greenhouse gasses. Many volcanos and craters also are abundnt on Venus.
