An earthquake is a result of movement along a fault line, so they aren't classified as extinct and dormant. If you mean volcanoes, an extinct volcano is one that scientists classify as unlikely to erupt again because it no longer has lava supply. A dormant volcano is one scientists believe can still be active but has not had an eruption in recent years.
