They are dormant.
Dormant volcanoes
Volcanoes that are still active. A dormant volcano is one that is sleeping.
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.
A sleeping volcano is a volcano which hasn't erupted in ages but has erupted in the past and will carry on erupting in the future. Another name for a sleeping volcano is a dormant volcano. Volcanoes can go through a dormant or sleeping phase sometimes lasting for hundreds of years before reawakening and erupting again. Volcanoes with no geological activity are "extinct", and will never erupt again.
Dormant, from the Latin word, sleeping, is often used for volcanoes and faults that are now quiet.
a sleeping volcano is called a dormant volcano but it isn't actually sleeping its just a metaphor

Yes they are. A volcano that is not erupting is called a dormant (meaning sleeping) volcano, while one that is erupting is called an active volcano.
That's like asking 'are sleeping people awake?'. Dormant volcanoes, by definition, are not active, though they can become active under certain circumstances.
Quiet volcanoes can be either dormant or extinct. An extinct volcano, as you may have guessed, has not erupted for a very long period of time and will not erupt in the future. A dormant volcano, however, is just sleeping. You probably get up all groggy after a good sleep.If you mean volcanoes that erupt quietly, as in not explosively, then those are generally shield volcanoes.
Dormant means sleeping or appearing to be sleeping. It can also mean to be in a state of inactivity (as with volcanoes). In biology, it means to be in a state of minimal metabolic activity with cessation of growth.
Active volcanoes: are those that erupted lava,gases ,cinder,pumice,etc in the historic pass.Eg: Mt.St.Helena Dormant volcanoes: are those which erupted in the past and are likely to erupt again after remeaining inactive for fairly long periods. These are "sleeping" volcanoes which may become active once again. eg: Mt.vesuvius.Extinct volcanoes: are those volcanoes which were active in the remote geological periods. Eg: Mt.Kenya
THE LAST DUDE SAID THERE WERE 100000000 ACTIVE theres not i just wanted people to know that peace out
