How many volcanoes are there in Sulawesi?
There's 130 active volcanoes and 76 volcanoes have erupted in historic time.
Why are extinct volcanoes called extinct?
Extinct volcanoes are called extinct because they are no longer active and have not erupted in historical times. This term is used to distinguish them from active and dormant volcanoes. Extinct volcanoes are considered to have no potential for future activity.
How many main active volcanoes are there?
There are approximately 1,500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide, with around 500 of these having erupted in historical times. However, the number of currently active volcanoes can vary as eruptions can start or cease suddenly.
What is A volcano that is currently erupting or has recently erupted is called a?
A volcano that is currently erupting or has recently erupted is called an "active volcano." Active volcanoes are characterized by ongoing tectonic activity that results in eruptions, which can vary in intensity and type. In contrast, dormant volcanoes have not erupted in a long time but may potentially erupt again, while extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future. Monitoring active volcanoes is crucial for assessing hazards and ensuring public safety.
How are active volcanoes and dormant alike?
Active volcanoes and dormant volcanoes both have a likely chance to erupt and have erupted in the past.

Is the composite volcano considered to be active dormant or extinct and why?
Most of the volcanoes in the world, including composite volcanoes, are considered active. Scientists consider any volcano that has erupted in the last 10,000 years active.
What word does scientist use for when a volcano is asleep?
Active volcanoes: are those that erupted lava,gases ,cinder,pumice,etc in the historic pass.Eg: Mt.St.Helena Dormant volcanoes: are those which erupted in the past and are likely to erupt again after remeaining inactive for fairly long periods. These are "sleeping" volcanoes which may become active once again. eg: Mt.vesuvius.Extinct volcanoes: are those volcanoes which were active in the remote geological periods. Eg: Mt.Kenya
What is the difference between extinct dormant and active volcanoes?
An Active volcano is one that has erupted at least once in the past 15,20years.An Extinct volcano has not erupted within the past 15,20 years.A Dormant volcano is an Active volcano that is not currently erupting but can erupt anytime.
What do you mean by active and inactive volcano?
Active volcanoes are likely to erupt at any time where as inactive volcanoes are 'asleep' or haven't erupted much in the past and are unlikely to erupt in the near future.
