Are there any dormant volcanoes if yes then name them?

Sure, there's lots. Mt Ranier in Washington state, Mt. Fujiyama on Honshu, in Japan, Mt. Etna in Greece, Mt. McKinley in Alaska, most of the Andes chain, et al. The real problem is picking out which are actually dormant. Mt. St. Helens was thought to be dormant until 1980, when it erupted. It's a relative thing, stating which volcanic mountain will not erupt for a while, the potential is always there, I suppose. Mount Etna is actually no longer dormant, as it erupted on the 12 of January 2011 for four hours over night.


Is Mt Etna active intermittent dormant or extinct?
