Which are the terms used by geologist to describe volcano stage of activity?

They can be extinct, dormant or active.


What are the the three stages of volcanic activity?

There is the active stage (which explodes from time to time), the dormant stage (which is expected to erupt but might not), and the extinct stage (which means no more explosions).


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


Does a volcano have stages of activity?

an active stage is when an volcano is rumbling an is about to exploed.Hope that helped alot.


Can a volcano become active after being inactive for several years?

It is not very likely. Extinct volcanos are generally classified as such when their physical location is disconnected from their magma source, and when the structure of volcano itself is showing signs of geological decay or collapse related to weather erosion over a long period of time, as measured in thousands of years. Volcanos that have not been active for a shorter period, perhaps hundreds of years, are classified as "dormant". This means they may have entered a stage where they exhibit no off-gassing, there are no steam or ash plumes from fissures in the mountain, and there is no seismic activity indicating movement of magma. Such a volcano may well be on the road toward extinction, but may become active again if geological conditions connect it with a source of mobile magma.

Describe the three stages in the life cycle of a volcano?

active- or live volcano is one that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future dormant- volcano to awaken in the future and become active extinct- or dead volcano is unlikely to erupt again

Was Mount Kilauea ever dormant?

yes, after it last errupted and when it became xtinct. timeframe is something, not even scientist agree on. every extinct volcano has to go through a "dormant" stage before it is considered extinct.


What is a volcano that does no longer erupt called?

the name given to volcanoes that can no longer erupt is "EXTINCTED VOLCANOES" (\___/) ( o , o) (\____/) ( >#<) ( o , o ) (") (") (^^^^^ ) ( O O ) ( 7 ) ( \___/ ) Of course it could also be a "dormant" volcano playing possum. It is difficult to distinguish an extinct volcano from a dormant (inactive) one. Volcanoes are often considered to be extinct if there are no written records of its activity. Nevertheless, volcanoes may remain dormant for a long period of time. For example, Yellowstone has a repose/recharge period of around 700 ka, and Toba of around 380 ka. Vesuvius was described by Roman writers as having been covered with gardens and vineyards before its famous eruption of AD 79, which destroyed the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Before its catastrophic eruption of 1991, Pinatubo was an inconspicuous volcano, unknown to most people in the surrounding areas. Two other examples are the long-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat, thought to be extinct before activity resumed in 1995 and Fourpeaked Mountain in Alaska, which, before its September 2006 eruption, had not erupted since before 8000 BC and had long been thought to be extinct.
