GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dormant → Dormant volcanoes are volcanoes that have not erupted in a long time but are expected to erupt again in the future. Examples of dormant volcanoes are Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa and Mount Fuji in Japan. Extinct → Extinct volcanoes are those which have not erupted in human history.

Detailed explanation-2: -A dormant volcano would then be one that hasn’t erupted in the past 10, 000 years, but which is expected to erupt again.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanic eruption Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant, or extinct. Active volcanoes have a recent history of eruptions; they are likely to erupt again. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Volcanologists describe volcanoes as being active, dormant, or extinct based on how recently they erupted and whether they are likely to do so again. Active: A volcano is considered potentially active if it has erupted during the last 10, 000 years.

Detailed explanation-5: -A volcano which has not erupted in the past 10, 000 years is often listed as extinct.
