Yes. 100 years is not a long time for a volcano. Some volcanoes will start up again after thousands of years without an eruption.
It is called a active volcano. Inactive volcanoes have not erupted for more than a century.
I am sorry if this is not the right answer No Krakatoa has not erupted in the past 100 years if and when it does erupt the it will be a very big erution or a small one or it has fallen dormit forever or will fall dormit. hope this helps
The canary islands are all sitting on the top of an underwater volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of years. I also know that most of the individual islands have there own volcano's and on tenerife it is due to erupt soon as it does every 100 years. So the islands are on the top of a volcano with a volcano on top of most of them.
A volcano that erupts frequently keeps pressures down on the inside of the volcano. People in the area become familiar with the signs it is about to erupt. But a volcano that has sat dormant will fool people into thinking the mountain is safe, even 'dead'. New generations never experienced the volcano erupting. They may have built houses and businesses too close to the mountain. When it erupts, the volcano will have up to 100 years of pressures built up behind the eruption. It might not give any warning signs before it erupts. So not only will people be caught off guard, living too close, the eruption may be so large that people cannot get away fast enough.
A volcano that has been inactive for 100 years because when it erupts it might give off a big explosion.!
every 100 years roughly
It will plug up the volcano, which will usually keep the volcano from erupting for about 100 years. However, after that, the entire volcano itself will explode.

Mauna Loa is the world's largest active volcano. It's last eruption was in 1984. There is a 100% chance that it will erupt again within the next five years.

Tourism. Many people also have beliefs that some hazards would not happen because e.g. a volcano not erupting for 100 years.

Mount St. Helens is currently the only active volcano in the continental U.S. and the only one to erupt in the continental U.S. in nearly 100 years. It is also the most lethal volcano in the U.S. having cost 57 lives in the 1980 eruption. Information sourced from www.MountStHelens.com
