An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).
The volcano is said to be extinct if it hasn't erupted for at least 10,000 years.
A dormant volcano is one that is just sleeping and it is possible to erupt again. An extinct volcano will never erupt again.
As it is regarded as an extinct volcano, it is unlikely that it will erupt again.
active : a volcano which is expected to erupt again or will erupt again eg.mt etna dormant : a volcano which has erupted in the last 2000 years but not recently eg Mt Baker extinct : a volcano which will not erupt again eg killimanjaro
its called dormant when it colud erupt again and extinct when it cant erupt again.
DORMANT
it wont erupt anymore because it is an extinct volcano which means not able to erupt anymore
An active volcano is one that is erupting or is likely to erupt.A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted for a long time (but is still possibly active).An extinct volcano is one that is not likely to erupt again.
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.This is in contract to a dormant volcano, which is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant.
