Scientists would consider it to be dormant - however most others would say extinct " Extinct volcanoes are those that scientists consider unlikely to erupt again. Whether a volcano is truly extinct is often difficult to determine. For example, since calderas have lifespans sometimes measured in millions of years, a caldera that hasn't produced an eruption in tens of thousands of years is likely to be considered dormant instead of extinct."

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

So the answer is extinct?

OpenStudy (warriorz13):

No the answer would be dormant

OpenStudy (warriorz13):

Extinct mean it doesn't exist anymore Dormant means like is asleep

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
