Explanation:

Volcanoes can be divided into three categories on the basis of their frequency of eruptions. They are:

  • Active Volcanoes: Volcanoes which have erupted in the past and are presently in an active state are known as active volcanoes. Examples : Mount Etna in Italy and Mauna Loa in Hawaii.
  • Dormant Volcanoes: Volcanoes which have not erupted in the recent historical period, but are likely to erupt after remaining inactive for a long period of time are known as dormant volcanoes. Examples : Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mt. Fuji in Japan.
  • Extinct Volcanoes: Volcanoes which were once active in the past geological period, but are not likely to erupt in the present or in the future are known as extinct volcanoes. Example: Mt. Kenya in Africa and Mt. Aconcagua in South America.
