An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.
This is in contract to a dormant volcano, which is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant.

What is consolidated volcanic ash?
volcanic ash is made of fine rock powder and is usually grey in color. It is formed when gas in the volcano vent causes an explosions which shatter the hot (sticky magma of a stratovolcanoe) flinging it high into the air from where it descends back to earth as a fine powder made of sharp (microscopic) shards which are bad to breath in. The ash can fall a long way form the volcano (down wind) and can accumulate to many meters thick. The ash gradually compacts and solidifies into rock but before this happens, if there is a heavy rain storm the ash can form a thick mud which flows like a river (caled a lahar) down the volcano. Lahars can be very distructive.
Can cause long- term environmental change by blowing dust and gases into the sky?
Volcanoes. Right now a volcano in Alaska has shut down much of the air travel there due to blowing volcanic ash 20,000 feet in the air.
Descent into hell is easy?
"Easy is the descent to hell; all night long, all day, the doors of dark Hades stand open; but to retrace the path; to come out again to the sweet air of Heaven - there is the task, there is the burden." Virgil
you should keep me as straight as can be, yet very few do. Most of the time I am slightly bent or curved. Your sadness usually causes me to bend further, but don’t bend me for too long or I may never be able to fully straighten out again. What am I?
