I lava you!!
Not usually. It is more common for a volcano to erupt explosively and later extrude gas-depleted lava. That being said, lava domes can sometimes explode.
There is no latin word for the word volcano. Volcano was derived from the name of the Roman god, Vulcanus.
Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It is one of the largest in the world and is characterized by its gentle sloping sides built up from numerous lava flows. Shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava.
there are different types of volcanoes for different reasons. how they form has alot to do with the type of lava said volcano produces. fluid basaltic lava tends to create shield volcanoes. spatter cones tend to form when hot erupting lava contains just enough explosive gas to prevent the formation of a lava flow, but not enough to shatter it into small fragments. hot expanding gas tears the lava into hot fluid clots.

A volcano is said to be extinct when it isn't there any more.
Mt. Mayon is said to be a volcano to have the most perfect cone in the world. But as everyone enjoys the scenery of it erupting, it's actually disadvantaging the people living near it. The lava and other volcanic material come out of the vent, thus, destroying the homes of hundreds of people around it. Volcanic ash and the so called "lahar" come out of the volcano emitting different kinds of toxic gases. Ok, it may really look cool when you see a volcano erupt but can actually leave a large population homeless.
Dormant.
It affect non-living things because if there is a animal near a tree and the ground shakes because of a earthquake the tree will fall on the animal and might die. It can kill a bird if the bird is up in the tree.

It is said to be dormant.
Such a volcano is said to be active.
