Answer:A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted recently but is expected to do so again.
Volcanoes become dormant because the Earth’s plates are constantly shifting above volcanic hotspots. Each time the hotspot reaches the surface, it creates a new volcano. The tectonic plate continues to shift above the hotspot, and eventually the volcano is shut off from the magma chamber beneath. And so the magma finds a new source to the surface, creating a new active volcano.
Answer: A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted recently but is expected to do so again. Prior to its 1980 eruption, Mount St. Helens had been classified as dormant. An extinct volcano is a volcano that volcanologists do not think will ever erupt again, such as Mount Buninyong in Australia.
