Question

what is dormant volcanoes

Answer 1

That is the definition of active used by the Global Volcanism Program in their catalogs. A dormant volcano would then be one that hasn't erupted in the past 10,000 years, but which is expected to erupt again. An extinctvolcano would be one that nobody expects to ever erupt again

Answer 2

Volcanoes which are no more active or not give out lava are called dormant volcanoes.
