dormant
You've got to be kidding me. A volcano that erupts often is called a cinder cone volcano, a volcano that does not erupt at all is called a shield volcano, and a volcano that can erupt but doesn't is a composite volcano. Here is the chart. Cinder cone: eruption Shield: dead Composite: sleep Hope you use my answer wisely. NOOBS!
A live volcano is simply called an active volcano.
A volcano that is not active is a dormant volcano.
When a volcano goes to sleep, it becomes dormant, meaning there is no volcanic activity or eruption occurring. However, this does not mean the volcano is extinct, as it can wake up and become active again in the future. During this dormant period, magma may still be present beneath the surface, but there is no immediate threat of eruption.
