Can a volcano that has stopped erupting ever erupt again?

This requires a judgment call by the vulcanologists. Some volcanoes are truly extinct, and will likely never erupt again - Crater Lake in Oregon is a good example. Some volcanoes are dormant, and quiet for the time being. They may never erupt again, or may someday down the road come roaring back to life. I believe Mt. Fuji in Japan is currently dormant, but I might be wrong on that one. Some volcanoes, even if currently quiet, are considered active, and are monitored constantly, such as Mount St. Helens, Vesuvius and Mt. Etna. Telling which is which is the life's work of vulcanologists.
