- Dormant volcanoes are those which have not erupted for a long time but are still considered capable of erupting in the future.
- These volcanoes may show signs of activity such as earthquakes, gas emissions or ground deformation.
- The length of time a volcano has been dormant does not necessarily determine its likelihood of erupting, as some volcanoes can remain dormant for centuries before erupting again.
- It is important to monitor dormant volcanoes to ensure that communities living near them are prepared for potential eruptions.

- Active volcanoes are those that are currently erupting or have erupted recently.
- Shield volcanoes are a type of volcano characterized by their broad, gently sloping cone shape.
