Some of the extinct and active volcanoes.

Firstly, lets define the Active, Erupting, Dormant and Extinct volcanoes!

  • An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant.
  • An erupting volcano is an active volcano that is having an eruption.
  • A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again.
  • An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.
So..What are some of the extinct volcanoes?
