Definitely still active.
Mt. St. Helens recently had quite a little cough- up (during the early 2000's). And geologic time is very different from human time; a volcano that has erupted during the Helocene (a special geological name for a time period beginning 12,000 years ago) is considered to be active.
What else can I help you with?
Is Mount St. Helens extinct?
no it is not extinct. Some say that is active because there is still smoke coming out of it, but it is just sleeping so it is dormant. no it is not extinct.

What does active dormant extinct mean?
Active - a volcano that is still "alive" with the chance of erupting Dormant - "asleep" or "dead" for many years; hasn't erupted for a while - Opposite of active Extinct - same thing as dormant, but no chance of erruption
Explain the 3 stages of a volcanoes life?
Active, dormant, and extinct.
Is Mount Katmai extinct?
no it is active, but is hasn't erupted since 1912
What is the term for a volcano unlikely to erupt again?
They term this an extinct volcano if there is no longer a supply of magma to the chamber underlying the volcano or dormant if there is (as there is therefore still a chance of a future eruption).

Is krakatau an active dormant or an extinct volcano?
Krakatau is still an active volcano today the last time it erupted was in April 2008
What is the difference between an extinct and a dormant earthquake?
An earthquake is a result of movement along a fault line, so they aren't classified as extinct and dormant. If you mean volcanoes, an extinct volcano is one that scientists classify as unlikely to erupt again because it no longer has lava supply. A dormant volcano is one scientists believe can still be active but has not had an eruption in recent years.
Are volcanoes alive?
No, volcanoes are not alive. They are natural geological formations that are created by the movement of tectonic plates and the release of magma from the Earth's mantle. Volcanoes can be active, dormant, or extinct, but they are not considered living entities.
Which volcano still erupts in Hawaii?
Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Hualalai is listed as active but not errupting. Mauna Kea is listed as Dormant and Kohala is listed as extinct.
Is Chimborazo active dormant or extinct?
Chimborazo, the highest mountain in Ecuador, is considered dormant. While it has not erupted in recent history, with its last known eruption occurring around 550 AD, it still has the potential for future volcanic activity. The mountain's status as dormant means it is not currently active but could become so again.
Why volcanologists not used the term dormant or extinct nowadays?
Volcanologists have moved away from the terms "dormant" and "extinct" because they can be misleading. A volcano classified as dormant may still have the potential to erupt, while an extinct volcano could unexpectedly reawaken. Instead, they prefer using terms like "active," "potentially active," or "inactive" to better reflect the uncertainty and dynamic nature of volcanic behavior. This approach acknowledges the complexities of volcanic systems and helps improve risk assessments.
Is Mount Fox in Australia still an active volcano?
No, Mt Fox is extinct. There are no active volcanoes anywhere in Australia.
