inactive
Active volcanoes still have the ability to erupt. Inactive are essentially ex-volcanoes, just big mounds.
Active volcanoes are currently erupting, have erupted in the past 10,000 years, or have the potential to erupt in the future. Inactive volcanoes, also known as dormant, are currently not erupting but have the potential to erupt again in the future.

Kilauea is the most active volcano in the world and is on The Big Island (Hawaii).
The Kilauea volcano is on Hawaii's Big Island.
There are no active volcanoes on Australia's mainland. There is one active volcano on Australian territory, that being Big Ben on McDonald Island in the sub-Antarctic territory of Heard & McDonald Island.
A volcano that erupts frequently is more likely to be dangerous because it can cause more frequent destruction and pose a continuous threat to nearby areas. However, a volcano that has been active for 100 years could potentially have built up pressure and be primed for a larger, more explosive eruption. Both types of volcanoes can be hazardous in different ways.
The Hawaiian islands are made up of many volcanoes, most of which are extinct. However, one volcano, Kilauea on the big island, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
The world's most active volcano is located in Hawaii, at the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island. This volcano has been continuously erupting since 1983, making it one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Australia is the only continent without any active volcanoes. However, there is one active volcano on Australian territory, that being Big Ben on McDonald Island in the sub-Antarctic territory of Heard & McDonald Island.
Big Ben volcano, located in Heard Island, is not currently active because it is a shield volcano made of lava flows rather than explosive eruptions. The lack of magma buildup and tectonic activity in the area have contributed to its dormancy. Additionally, the volcano is situated in a remote and isolated area, making it difficult to monitor any potential activity closely.
There are actually five,Loihi, Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, and Haleakala.
