Dormant, from the Latin word, sleeping, is often used for volcanoes and faults that are now quiet.

Paricutin produced mildly explosive eruptions, as is typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
No, pahoehoe and aa lava are typically produced during non-explosive eruptions. Pahoehoe lava has a smooth, ropey texture, while aa lava is rough and jagged. Explosive eruptions typically produce ash, pyroclastic flows, and lava domes.
A Quiet Storm was created on 1975-03-26.

Pahoehoe and another
New Zealand experiences about 300 earthquakes of Richter 4 to 4.9 each year, (on average); and an average of two in the range Richter 6 to 6.9.There is a huge difference in the distribution of Deep and Shallow earthquakes, and this is illustrated by graphs in the website of gns.cri.nz.Of course, the shallow earthquakes have a very much greater effect on structures.The very deep earthquakes are commonly in Fiordland, where the population is very low. The deep earthquakes in both islands are strongly associated with the subduction of the Pacific plate under the Australian Plate in the north; and the subduction of the Australian plate under the Pacific Plate in the South.As far as deep earthquakes are concerned, there is a quiet zone where these patterns cross over, and this raises the Southern Alps.New Zealand straddles the boundary between these two plates. The Alpine Fault in the South Island may be an extension of a transcurrent fault associated with the Mid Ocean Ridge sea floor spreading in the south Pacific.This fault continues through New Zealand, emerging as the Hikurangi trench, which becomes the Tonga Trench further north again.
Mount Etna has had both explosive and "quiet" eruptions and has produced lava flows, lava fountains, and pyroclastic flows.
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.

Earthquakes are not 'regular' on any continent. Antarctica is especially quiet in the earthquake department, having last experienced one in 1973, according to FindTheData site. However, earthquakes that occur nearby cause ice-quakes on Antarctica, during which the ice shifts. (98% of Antarctica is covered with an ice sheet.)
A quiet sound wave has lower amplitude and intensity compared to a loud sound wave. This means the vibrations produced by the quiet sound wave are less forceful and have less energy, resulting in a softer sound.
Seismic gaps or seismic quiet zones are areas with historically low levels of earthquake activity compared to surrounding regions. These areas are considered high-risk zones for future earthquakes due to built-up strain along fault lines.
Antarctica is the quietest continent on earth. Antarctica is earthquake-quiet, possibly because of having so few seismographic instruments, so very few quakes are recorded. What does occur in Antarctica is ice-quakes, which are usually smaller than earthquakes.
Pahoehoe comes from an explosive eruption, whereas AA comes from quiet eruptions.
Antarctica is a 'quiet' continent when it comes to earthquakes. However, the seismological sensors there can tell the hemisphere in which earthquakes occur. When a quake occurs in the northern hemisphere, the ink tip begins its curve above the graph's mid-line; and the opposite is also true. What may be important, however, is not so much earthquakes as ice quakes which occur as ice shelves deteriorate.
