Is Edinburgh's volcano still active?
No the Volcano in the Scottish Capital has been extinct for many years even before man. The last eruption was between 350 and 400 million years ago. The vents inside are blocked and will not erupt again the future. If the Volcano was to erupt the vents would have to open up by earthquakes and new magma would take place under the volcano, but this won't happen as it is to cold, solidified and completey blocked. Yes there is a Volcano in Scotland not many people believe this, its in the heart of Edinburgh and its called Arthur's Seat, the ancient volcano of Scotland.
How long does it take for an volcano to erutp?

What happens to lava that does not erupt and stays under the surface?
Lava that does not erupt and stays under the surface will slowly cool and solidify, forming intrusive igneous rocks such as granite or diorite. These rocks may later be exposed at the Earth's surface through erosion or uplift.
What is the difference of an active volcano and a dormant volcano?
An active volcano is one which maintains a hot magma chamber, so that it might erupt anytime in the future. An inactive (extinct or dormant) contains mainly cooled lava and is not likely to erupt unless there is a new supply of hot magma.

What are the Hawaii lslands made of?
A fixed "hot spot" (magma/hot lava) accumulated under the tectonic plate in that area. Imagine a volcano under the sea floor there. The "volcano" would erupt and create an island. Over time, the tectonic plate would move but the "volcano" would not. The hot spot (volcano) would erupt again but on a different part of the tectonic plate.

How does volcano differ from magma chamber?
A volcano is a vent or hole in the ground where molten rock and associated gasses erupt. A magma chamber is a chamber underground, often under a volcano, where molten rock is stored.
Can an earthquake happen under a volcano?
yes because the earth plate is straight when the earth quake comes the volcano moves but nothing will happen but if its a really big earth quake And the volcano will erupt because of the pressure and the plates can hold the pressure so the volcano will erupt so can a tsunami occur.
