Volcanos are classified into three different groups; active, dormant, and extinct. An active volcano still has a lava supply that continues to reach the magma chamber. The lava is what makes the volcano erupt. An volcano is classified as active when it has erupted within the last 10,000 years and continues to have the constant flow of lava.
