There are three types of volcanoes:
Active volcanoe: A volcanoe that can erupt at any time.
Dormant volcanoes: These are the volcanoes that had erupted long ago eg a period of 100 years. These can erupt at any time.They are also known as sleeping volcanoes.
Extinct volcanoe: These are those that scientists are unlikely to erupt again as they no longer have a lava supply.
It is difficult to differentiate between dormant and extinct volcanoes.
