A stratovolcano is a conical volcano with a steep profile that is composed of many layers of hardened lava, pumice, tephra, and volcanic ash. Stratovolcanoes capable of producing both effusive and explosive eruptions, some of which can be very large. They are the most dangerous type of volcano.

An active volcano is one that is erupting, showing signs of erupting, or has erupted relatively recently.

A stratovolcano is a steep-sloped, often tall volcano that is composed of layers of ash, pumice, and old lava flows. Many stratovolcanoes are capable of producing large explosive eruptions.

What does it mean for a volcano be active dormant and extinct?

An active volcano is one which periodically erupts, spewing forth lava, and assorted gases. A dormant volcano is one which has stopped erupting and may not erupt again for a long time, although we can't say exactly how long. An extinct volcano is one which will never erupt again. There is no more hot magma inside it, it has all cooled down and is now solid rock.
