Yes, it is a 'stratovolcano' During the last 10,000 years Shasta has erupted an average of every 800 years but in the past 4,500 years the volcano has erupted an average of every 600 years. The last significant eruption on Shasta may have occurred 200 years ago

Describe the three stages of a volcano?
#1. Active Stage #2. Dormant Stage #3. Extinct Stage Active Volcano: A volcano that is erupting. Also, a volcano that is not presently erupting, but that has erupted within historical time and is considered likely to do so in the future. Dormant Volcano: Literally, "sleeping." The term is used to describe a volcano which is presently inactive but which may erupt again. Most of the major Cascade volcanoes are believed to be dormant rather than extinct. Extinct Volcano: A volcano that is not presently erupting and is not likely to do so for a very long time in the future
What is the difference of an active volcano and a dormant volcano?
An active volcano is one which maintains a hot magma chamber, so that it might erupt anytime in the future. An inactive (extinct or dormant) contains mainly cooled lava and is not likely to erupt unless there is a new supply of hot magma.

How has the Iceland volcano affected us?
Recently, a volcano has erupted in Iceland. It has affected us mildly, but scientists are currently predicting that the volcano that has already erupted is still active, and a volcano 50 times bigger next to it might erupt. Don't be frightened, these are just predictions! The active volcano has cut of many airlines flying into Great Britain. Thousands of tourists have been stuck camping out in airports, desperate to get home, and others are awaiting for their plane to take them to their holiday destination to arrive. Also, and I have evidence for this, when the volcano erupted, the day after that I woke up to see grey/black ash all over my car bonnet and windscreen. When the volcano erupted, all the lava leaked into the sea, so it was quite dangerous to take a ferry around that area. As Great Britain is the nearest county to Iceland, we are the most affected country. But the amount of volcanic ash is reducing, and now it is safe to go on a plane and venture round in a boat, but let's just keep our fingers crossed this next volcano won't erupt!
What is a volcano?
A volcano is a mount (or mountain) that has magma in it. A volcano also is like an earthquake releasing pressure from the inner core of the earth. If there is a lot of pressure to be released this will cause the eruption to be bigger and more destructive, like the volcano Mount Tambora that erupted in 1815.
Did volcanoes form the earth?
