What is monogenetic volcano?

A monogenetic volcano is a type of volcano that only erupts once in its lifetime, as opposed to the more commonly known polygenetic volcanoes that erupt multiple times. These volcanoes are typically smaller in size and are associated with a single magma chamber. Some examples of monogenetic volcanoes include cinder cones and maars.


What does it mean for a volcano be active dormant and extinct?

An active volcano is one which periodically erupts, spewing forth lava, and assorted gases. A dormant volcano is one which has stopped erupting and may not erupt again for a long time, although we can't say exactly how long. An extinct volcano is one which will never erupt again. There is no more hot magma inside it, it has all cooled down and is now solid rock.


Which is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for 100 years why?

A volcano that erupts frequently keeps pressures down on the inside of the volcano. People in the area become familiar with the signs it is about to erupt. But a volcano that has sat dormant will fool people into thinking the mountain is safe, even 'dead'. New generations never experienced the volcano erupting. They may have built houses and businesses too close to the mountain. When it erupts, the volcano will have up to 100 years of pressures built up behind the eruption. It might not give any warning signs before it erupts. So not only will people be caught off guard, living too close, the eruption may be so large that people cannot get away fast enough.

A volcano that might erupt again is called active.The word extinct is usually used for volcanoes that last erupted many thousands of years ago, and show little or no signs of tectonic activity.


A word that describes a volcano that will never erupt again?
