A volcano that is thought to be incapable of further eruptions is said to be extinct.
A volcano that is inactive but not extinct is said to be dormant.
ACTIVE! Ones that are sleeping but could erupt again are called DORMaNT! And ones that are never going to erupt again are called EXTINCT!
its called dormant when it colud erupt again and extinct when it cant erupt again.
An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
A volcano that has not erupted recently is referred to as a "dormant" volcano. Dormant volcanoes have the potential to erupt again in the future, but they have not shown any activity for a significant period of time. In contrast, an "extinct" volcano is one that is unlikely to erupt again.
Volcanoes that no longer erupt is called an extinct volcano. An extinct volcano is defined as a volcano that has not had an eruption in at least 10,000 years, and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.

An extinct volcanothey are called dormant volcanoes.
A dormant volcano is another term for a volcano that is no longer active but could potentially erupt again.
If it 'unlikely' to erupt again but it could, it's dormant.
A dormant volcano is one that is just sleeping and it is possible to erupt again. An extinct volcano will never erupt again.
