As far as i know, I believe that the plate of earth underneath that's spitting out the lava has a little time limit going over it.

Any volcano can erupt from a couple seconds to maybe even a couple minutes.

A volcano only erupts while liquid magma is being forced upward to the surface. When a magma chamber is empty, or when solidified rock plugs the volcanic vent, the eruption will at least temporarily stop. In some cases, emptying the magma chamber sufficiently will cause solid rock above the chamber to collapse on top of it.

Dormant volcanoes are ones that haven't erupted for a long time. However, a dormant volcano can become active again.

if it can NO LONGER ERUPT FOREVER then it is not a volcanoe anymore >.<

I can only guess that there is either a cooling event, the magma erupting is from a limited source or the channels for magma flow become clogged up.

What can't you do when a volcano is erupting?

When a volcano is erupting, it is generally not safe to be near or approach the volcano. It is advised to avoid the area and not attempt to see the eruption up close. Additionally, flying or operating aircraft near an erupting volcano can pose significant risks due to the ash plume and potential disruption to air traffic.

Why dont scientists know when the volcano in iceland will stop erupting?

The reason scientists can't tell when it will stop erupting is because they can't tell how much molten lava is under the volcano. Even if the volcano doesn't stop erupting, flights within Europe may be resumed, the reason we're getting all this ash is because the molten lava hits the iceberg on top of the volcano and the sudden change in temperature and pressure gives off masses of fine ash.
