A volcano can last for quite some time. Most last from less than a decade to more than 10 million years. Yes, this has happened before on many volcanoes. If volcanoes have had inactivity for more than those amounts of time, the volcano is probably extinct, or dead as some people call it.

What can cause a death to a volcano?

There are several once active volcanoes round the world that have become dormant long ago.

There is always the chance that a dormant volcano can become active again - it depends mainly on the pressure below - and often causing even more devastation as the cap is blown off.
