Why is it that the volcano which erupted last 600 years is more destructive or the probability of future eruption is higher?

If a volcano has not erupted in 600 years that probably means magma has been building up for all that time. If it erupts, it could eject all 600 years worth of material, which could amount to several cubic miles. Such and eruption would be very violent, producing enormous clouds of ash and pyroclastic flows. By contrast a volcano that erupts frequently has less of an opportunity tu build up a large volume of magma.


What colour is a volcano before it's erupted?

If a volcano erupts is that volcano dead?

No. You see or hear on some shows,"oh, this volcano hasn't erupted since 1907." or something. But then it erupts. Yes, that can happen. A period of a few hundred years isn't very long for a volcano, especially ones that erupt violently. The mountain of a volcano is built up by a series of eruptions over the course of thousands if not millions of years. After erupting a volcano may go dormant for a few years or event a few centuries, but it is not dead and in nearly all cases activity will eventually resume. As once example, the volcano at Yellowstone has not had a magmatic eruption in 70,000 years, but it is still monitored for activity as magma is present beneath it.
