This is known as the latent period. If the virus is active, not dormant, but not causing any symptoms yet, this is known as the incubation period.

An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.This is in contract to a dormant volcano, which is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant.

How are volcanoes classified according to activity?
Volcanoes are either active dormant or extinct. 1. Active- it shows eruptions within 50 years 2. Dormant- it enters a long period of rest and erupts violently. The longer it rests, the more violent the eruption may be. 3. Extinct- it doesn't show records of eruptions within the past thousand years. It is hard to tell if a volcano is dormant or completely 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.
