If a volcano erupts is that volcano dead?
No. You see or hear on some shows,"oh, this volcano hasn't erupted since 1907." or something. But then it erupts. Yes, that can happen. A period of a few hundred years isn't very long for a volcano, especially ones that erupt violently. The mountain of a volcano is built up by a series of eruptions over the course of thousands if not millions of years. After erupting a volcano may go dormant for a few years or event a few centuries, but it is not dead and in nearly all cases activity will eventually resume. As once example, the volcano at Yellowstone has not had a magmatic eruption in 70,000 years, but it is still monitored for activity as magma is present beneath it.
