Differentiate active from inactive volcanoes..

VII

Currently active volcanoes are volcanoes that are erupting presently, and there are almost always
some erupting throughout the world. Active volcanoes are expected to erupt in the near future on a
relatively regular schedule. Some people consider volcanoes active if they have erupted in the past
100 years, but others do not classify a volcano as inactive or dormant until hundreds or thousands of
years have passed.
Dormant and inactive are often used interchangeably, but they have subtle differences. Dormant
volcanoes are expected, and have the ability, to erupt in the future. They may have a long cycle
between eruptions during which they are dormant. Inactive volcanoes are usually not expected to
erupt in the future and have not erupted in recent history.
Dormant and inactive volcanoes can become extinct after many years. This happens when a volcano
moves away from its magma source or its source becomes empty. The shifting of tectonic plates can
move volcanoes away from the source, which results in extinct volcanoes that have no chance of
erupting.
