Best Answer

Volcanoes take thousands of years to make by tectonic plates converging and diverging, the necessary pressure for some volcanoes to erupt takes hundreds to thousands of years to build up. Some volcanoes are constantly eruptive, these eruptions having little explosive properties, other volcanoes don't erupt for thousands of years.

Because the volcano has gone dormant. This means that there is no pressure on the magma beneath, thus no eruptions.
