Can you predict the exact day when a current volcano will erupt?

No. Although scientists can monitor signs that a volcano is getting ready to erupt they are nowhere near predicting the day a volcano will erupt. They might not even be able to predict the month or even the year that it will erupt.

Can a volcano erupt after years of inactivity?

Yes they can, but only after extereme signs of disaster they can erupt after years of inactivity. One of these disasters are small tremors in the ground. So in conclusion, yes they can :)


What does dormant mean in a volcano's life?

It is hard to distinguish between a dormant and extinct volcano, but it will be considered dormant if it has not showed signs of eruption over several spans of its recharge period. For example, a volcano that has been known to erupt every twenty years might be considered dormant if it goes sixty years without erupting. Signs that a volcano might be dormant and is not nearing an eruption include: -Does not produce smoke or sulfuric smell from vents or crater -Lava cannot be viewed in or near the volcano, or can only be found very deep inside the crater -No tremors or small earthquakes have been detected in the area around the volcano for a long period of time -Small plants and trees have grown naturally on the cone. (More plant life than moss or lichen)
