Detailed explanation-1: -Dormant volcanoes have not erupted for a very long time but may erupt at a future time. Extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future. Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects.

Detailed explanation-2: -A dormant volcano is one that is “sleeping” but could awaken in the future, such as Mount Rainier and Mount Fuji. An extinct volcano is “dead”-it hasn’t erupted in the past 10, 000 years and is not expected to ever erupt again. Kohala on the Big Island of Hawaii could be considered an extinct volcano.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extinct volcanoes are the ones which have not been active from tens of thousands of years. So they are considered dead and are not expected to erupt in future whereas dormant volcanoes are the ones which have not erupted from a long time but are expected to erupt in the future.

Detailed explanation-4: -Extinct volcanoes are the one that have not erupted in a long time and will never erupt in the future. 2. A dormant volcano has erupted before in the last 10, 000 years. An extinct volcano has not erupted in the last 10, 000 years.
