∙ 15y agoExtinct volcanoes aren't erupting currently, or aren't considered as likely to erupt in the future. For they aren't known to have a lava supply any longer. Examples of extinct volcanoes are many of the Hawaiian island volcanoes, and the Paricutin volcano in the Mexican state of Michoacan. But scientists aren't always sure whether a volcano actually is extinct, or just dormant. For example, Vesuvius hadn't erupted in so long that the Romans of A.D. 79 had no warning of its eruption, and no defense against its destruction of the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii. The same mistake was made in 1995, about the Sourfriere Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat; and in 2006, about the Fourpeaked Mountain volcano in Alaska.
