What is a volcano that is erupting or has erupted in the last 100 years called?
It is called a active volcano. Inactive volcanoes have not erupted for more than a century.
Which volcano has been erupting for hundreds of years?
It is called a active volcano. Inactive volcanoes have not erupted for more than a century.
What is it called when volcanoes are not currently active?
Inactive Volcanoes are considered dormant or sometimes inaccurately deemed "asleep". This dormancy is caused by the cooling of Lava as it comes out of the volcano, some of it cooling at the top, and over time completely "stopping up" the volcano, making it unable to erupt.

How are volcanoes that have erupted in recent history classified?
A volcano that has erupted at least once during the past 10,000 years is called an active volcano. Active volcanos can be further classified as erupting or dormant. An erupting volcano is an active volcano that is currently having an eruption. A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but that is due to erupt again.
Can a inactive volcano erupted?
No. that's why its called inactive.
How are volcanoes that have erupted in recent history but are currently inactive classified?
dormant volcanoes
How are volcanoes that have not erupted in recorded history classified?
Extinct
What do you mean by active and inactive volcano?
Active volcanoes are likely to erupt at any time where as inactive volcanoes are 'asleep' or haven't erupted much in the past and are unlikely to erupt in the near future.
What is a volcano that is erupting or has erupted in the last 100 years called?
It is called a active volcano. Inactive volcanoes have not erupted for more than a century.
What are inactive volano?
An inactive volcano - is one that has not erupted since people started keeping records. There are volcanoes on earth that have never erupted in recorded history. Others have erupted a long time ago (say - more than a hundred years), but they're classed as dormant.
Which volcano has been erupting for hundreds of years?
It is called a active volcano. Inactive volcanoes have not erupted for more than a century.
If a volcano has not erupted in some time and scientists do not believe it will erupt again but aren't totally sure it is classified as?
Inactive maybe?

What diamonds are in volcanoes?
All natural diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface through volcanic pipes, which are volcanic in their action, but not classified as what we've come to know as 'volcanoes'.
All volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous do you think this is true?
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.
