What is monogenetic volcano?
A monogenetic volcano is formed by a single period of activity and never erupts again afterward.
What does it mean for a volcano be active dormant and extinct?
An active volcano is one which periodically erupts, spewing forth lava, and assorted gases. A dormant volcano is one which has stopped erupting and may not erupt again for a long time, although we can't say exactly how long. An extinct volcano is one which will never erupt again. There is no more hot magma inside it, it has all cooled down and is now solid rock.
When was the last time Mount Everest exploded?
Mount Everest never erupts. It is not a volcano.
Volcano that is unlikely to erupt again?
An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
Which is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for 100 years why?
A volcano that erupts frequently keeps pressures down on the inside of the volcano. People in the area become familiar with the signs it is about to erupt. But a volcano that has sat dormant will fool people into thinking the mountain is safe, even 'dead'. New generations never experienced the volcano erupting. They may have built houses and businesses too close to the mountain. When it erupts, the volcano will have up to 100 years of pressures built up behind the eruption. It might not give any warning signs before it erupts. So not only will people be caught off guard, living too close, the eruption may be so large that people cannot get away fast enough.

It depends, a volcano can erupt once and never erupt again. Or, a volcano can erupt multiple times a day.

What is a description of the stages of volcanic eruptions?
active is when the volcano is going to or is erupting. dormant is when the volcano is not erupted but is sleeping. extinct means that the volcano is dead and it will never erupt again.
