Active Volcanoes - Those volanoes which has erupted in the recent history and will continue to erupt further is known as an active volcano. Dormant Volcanoes - Those volcanoes which hasn't erupted in the recent past but has the capability of erupting in the future. These volcanoes generally erupt after long intervals of time. Extinct Volcanoes - These volcanoes used to erupt but hasn't erupted in the recent past and will probably not erupt further. There are actually only 3 types of volcanos, while one can be called two things. The first kind is called shield, it is almost shaped like an upside down bowl. The second is called a cinder cone, it's sides are a little more steep and instead of squirting out just lava, its squirts out pyroclastic material also and it has moderately explosive eruptions. The last is known as a composite or a stratovolcano, with quite steep sides.
