Why do people call volcanoes a she?

Some people refer to volcanoes as "she" out of tradition or to personify the powerful and unpredictable nature of volcanic activity. In some cultures, this practice may also be tied to myths or legends involving female deities associated with volcanoes.


What are the differences between the 3 types of volcanoes?

Active volcanoes are erupting or has erupted recently. Dormant volcanoes haven't been erupting recently, but may erupt in the future. They could be considered "sleeping". Extinct volcanoes will never erupt again.


What are the kinds of volcanos?

There are actually two ways of classifying volcanoes. The first one is by activity. If it has erupted recently and most likely will, then it's active. If it hasn't erupted recently but still has a magma chamber, it's considered dormant. If it will never erupt again and has no source of magma, then it's extinct. The second one is by the shape. Usually they are put into three main categories. The shortest, but wide volcano is called the shield volcano. These volcanoes are made from heavy and unpressurized lava. Some can be found in Hawaii. A less wide, but much taller volcano is called the cinder cone volcano. This volcano is made from lava building up upon the volcano. The tallest of the volcanoes are called composite volcanoes or stratovolcanoes. They are much bigger than the others and they are considered the most dangerous not just because of the lava, but especially because of the ash they eject.
