A volcano's crater is usually on the top, surrounding the vent.

The flank of a volcano is the ridge at the top opening of the volcano that was created by lava deposits during eruption,æ Volcano flanks are very unstable and can contain vertical fractures which make them dangerous to study.
A volcano is an opening in the Earth's surface through which heated materials (lava, ash, or gas) escape from below the ground.The stereotypical volcano forms a cone-shaped mountain of solidified magma and ash. But the basic form is a circular crater or caldera, containing a pool from which superheated materials are expelled by pressure from the source below.
Define "activities". If a volcano is just spewing steam then it's not dangerous. But if the top blows off, then you can stick around to find out.

That depends on how you define "biggest". If it is by area, then it is and unanswerable question. If it is by eruption magnitude, then it is probably Hekla. the largest volcano is seemingly Askja.

It is still an active volcano, so it isn't used for much. People can go up to the carter and it can been seen everywhere in the area. I was there and have several photos of it.
The arenal volcano is a cindercone volcano not a composite.
A Strato volcano or a composite volcano.
No. It is a composite volcano.
No, not by any definition. If you define the "youngest volcano" by "most recently erupted", then that honor goes to Kilauea, which has been erupting non-stop since 1983. Mount St. Helens last "erupted" in early 2008 when steam escaped from a fracture in the lava dome.
