Dormant
False. A dormant volcano is not the same as an inactive volcano. A dormant volcano has not erupted in a long time but still has the potential to erupt again, while an inactive volcano is unlikely to erupt again.
it is called a dormat volcano
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.
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.
you can get active, dormant (or sleeping) and inactive volcanoes. an active volcano is one that is very likely to erupt in the future and still has magma in it. a dormant (or sleeping) volcano is one that has not erupted for the past thousand-or-so years, but can still erupt an inactive volcano is highly unlikely to ever erupt again. every volcano will eventually become inactive. at one time, there were volcano in the UK, but they have all died out now (or become inactive) !!
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.
An inactive volcano is one which has erupted in the past, but which is not expected to erupt again.

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!

Inactive, dormant, wishful thinking.
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.
Active volcanoes still have the ability to erupt. Inactive are essentially ex-volcanoes, just big mounds.

A volcano that is unlikely to erupt is commonly referred to as dormant. This means that while it is currently inactive, there is still the potential for future eruptions.
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.
