  10. What are active, dormant and extinct volcanoes? Volcanoes are found in three states - extinct, dormant and active.

  11. Extinct- An extinct volcano will never erupt again.

  12. Dormant- A dormant volcano has not erupted in 2000 years. But, still could erupt.

  13. Active- An active volcano has erupted recently and is likely to erupt again.

  14. Extinct- An extinct volcano will never erupt again. DEAD

  15. Dormant- A dormant volcano has not erupted in 2000 years. But, still could erupt. Sleeping
