Best Answer

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.
