Etna, sicily Active! and if its not its Dormant
Volcanoes are generally classified as either "active", "dormant" or "extinct."
No. Volcanoes are not alive.
They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).
No, it's not actually alive, even if it's "active"
Extinct
No. The term compostie volcano describes a kind of volcano, not a kind of volcanic eruption. The Soufrière Hills on Montserrat is indeed a composite volcano, however, whether it is erupting or not.
It does not breathe or move.
Burn you alive
an erupting volcano?
In an inactive volcano, magma that is traveling towards the surface of the volcano can trigger eruption. Science is also indicating that earthquakes can be a causative factor in the eruption of a volcano.
No. Volcanoes are not alive.
A dormant volcano is a volcano that is "sleeping," for lack of a better term. It is a volcano that is not currently active.
They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).
A point.

There is no specific term for the outer layer of a volcano.
No, it's not actually alive, even if it's "active"
The term used to refer to an inactive volcano is "dormant".The other term to call an inactive volcano is "extinct volcano". But as the years pass by some of the extinct volcanoes may become active depending on the earth's core condition.
