An active volcano is one that could erupt anytime,but an inactive volcano means that it's kind of ''asleep''.So it will not erupt.
The opposite or antonym of inactive is active. Some synonyms for active (and thus, antonyms for inactive) are lively, live, brisk, energetic, and operative.
Dormant, which is probably more accurate as being the opposite of Active, then saying Inactive, which only means not active, and if it's NOT active, it must be something other then Active, of course when looking to the Physical Laws, there is the law of Motion, which reads "Everything is in a Constant state of Motion, Even when appearing to be at Rest" So, as Active, is to Action, and Action is to Motion, perhaps there is no such a thing as Dormant, or Inactive to begin or end with. But Dormant should do for now if that was the word you were looking for.
Active
Lack of activity would be a good thing when it refers to something that is harmful when it is active. So, for example, you have a tumor, but it is inactive.
The definition is: Where the lava and volcanic ash escape
inactive
inactive
The are no active or inactive Volcano's in Britain.
Active Volcano erupts from time to time while a inactive volcano hasn't erupted in a long while and may not erupt in the future again. But your never sure if a volcano is truly inactive or not!
yes mount Andes is an active volcano
An inactive volcano does not have lava. Lava is molten rock on the surface. If there is lava, then the volcano is either actively producing lava or has done so recently, which by definition means the volcano is active. When molten rock is underground it is called magma. Magma may or may not be prsent in an inactive volcano, but temperature ranges from 1,200 to 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Taal Volcano is an active volcano located in the Philippines. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the country and has had several eruptions in recent history, with the most recent one occurring in January 2020.
The term used to refer to an inactive volcano is "dormant".The other term to call an inactive volcano is "extinct volcano". But as the years pass by some of the extinct volcanoes may become active depending on the earth's core condition.
No, it's been inactive for a while now.
because there is no evidance of it being active for more than 2000 years
Active volcanoes are currently erupting or have erupted in modern history, while inactive volcanoes are dormant and have not erupted for a long time but could potentially become active again in the future. Some examples of active volcanoes include Kilauea in Hawaii and Mount Etna in Italy, while examples of inactive volcanoes include Mount Rainier in the United States and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
An active volcano is one which maintains a hot magma chamber, so that it might erupt anytime in the future. An inactive (extinct or dormant) contains mainly cooled lava and is not likely to erupt unless there is a new supply of hot magma.
