Explanation:
- Volcanoes have three stages; active, dormant and extinct.
- A volcano is considered active after it has erupted once in 10'000 years. 'Active' can mean erupting but it also means it might erupt soon because of the 'evidence' that it has erupted before.
- Dormant is a volcano that isn't erupting yet, it is described as sleeping. The volcano is still filled with magma but it can’t reach the surface to erupt.
- Finally extinct is a volcano which the magma has dried up inside, leaving the volcano empty.
