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.
A volcano that is quiet for a long time but may erupt again is known as a dormant volcano. Dormant volcanoes are inactive for a significant period of time but still have the potential to become active and erupt in the future.
An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
