Volcano that is thought of as sleeping?
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.
What are the differences between the 3 types of volcanoes?
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.
What is the term for section of a fault that has produced earthquakes in the past but is now quiet?
Dormant, from the Latin word, sleeping, is often used for volcanoes and faults that are now quiet.
What are the three typs of volcanos?
There are three types of volcanoes:Active volcanoe: A volcanoe that can erupt at any time.Dormant volcanoes: These are the volcanoes that had erupted long ago eg a period of 100 years. These can erupt at any time.They are also known as sleeping volcanoes.Extinct volcanoe: These are those that scientists are unlikely to erupt again as they no longer have a lava supply.It is difficult to differentiate between dormant and extinct volcanoes.
What makes volcanoes so interesting to scientists?
Volcanoes are definitely somewhat dangerous, looking back at disasters that have happened in the past. Some Volcanoes have been sleeping for millions of years and no one knows when another one will erupt. Scientists (particularly Volcanologists) are interested in volcanoes perhaps because of the dangers of an active volcano being so close to people.

Are volcanoes volcanoes before they erupt?
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.
Are dormant volcanoes active?
That's like asking 'are sleeping people awake?'. Dormant volcanoes, by definition, are not active, though they can become active under certain circumstances.
What is the definition of doormant?
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.
Volcanoes that are quiet are what kind of volcanoes?
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.

What word does scientist use for when a volcano is asleep?
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
