An extinct volcano is one that scientists believe will not erupt again. That is because the volcano no longer has a magma supply. There are many volcanoes that are considered extinct on the Hawaiian islands. Exactly when a volcano has become extinct can be difficult, if not impossible, for scientists to determine.
