It is called a active volcano. Inactive volcanoes have not erupted for more than a century.
Kilauea
A+
Hawiia. Been erupting continously for the last 20 years. Mount Kilauea.
It is not true that a dormant volcano is erupting. If it's erupting, it's by definition not dormant. It has pretty much always been, and will pretty much always be, true that a dormant volcano may erupt in the near future.
titi ka gago ka An active volcano is a volcano that is still working, still has lava in it. An inactive volcano is a volcano that either that lava has gone away or it has already erupted and lost all of its lava.
Many volcanoes have been in continuous eruption for decades. Etna, Stromboli, and Yasur have been erupting for hundreds or thousands of years. The following 4 volcanoes emit the most lava: Kilauea (Hawaii), Mt Etna (Italy), Piton de la Fournaise (Réunion), Nyamuragira, (D.R. Congo).Many volcanoes have been in continuous eruption for decades. Etna, Stromboli, and Yasur have been erupting for hundreds or thousands of years.

Yes, it will erupt in the future. Scientists think so
Yes. In fact one volcano has been erupting for 35 years. The islands are a result of volcanic activity.
Stromboli Volcano, off the west coast of southern Italy, has been erupting nearly continuously for over 2,000 years.
Hawiia. Been erupting continously for the last 20 years. Mount Kilauea.
We generally cannot predict when a volcano will erupt next unless it is imminent and the volcano is well-monitored. Kilauea is erupting now, and has been erupting almost continuously for over 30 years with no end in sight.

Nope! The Kilauea volcano has been erupting ever since 1983! I hope this helps:)

Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983.
At least one other volcano on the planet erupts more frequently than Kilauea-Stromboli. Stromboli Volcano, off the west coast of southern Italy, has been erupting nearly continuously for over 2,000 years.
It is hard to say really. First there are 3 qualifications of a volcano's activity. Active: The volcano is erupting or is showing signs of erupting. Dormant: The volcano is not erupting or showing any activity but should start again. Extinct: The Volcano has not erupted in the last 10000 or more years, and is not expected to show any active signs in the future. Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the Solar System, and is located on Mars. Most scientists believe that the volcano is extinct and will remain extinct for millions of years. Some scientists are now considering the possibility that the volcano is not dead but merely dormant. Proof of this is that there are evidence of ancient lava flows that should have been wiped out my meteorite impact.
