An extinct volcano is one that scientists believe will not erupt again. That is because the volcano no longer has a magma supply. There are many volcanoes that are considered extinct on the Hawaiian islands. Exactly when a volcano has become extinct can be difficult, if not impossible, for scientists to determine.

Due to its composition a volcanic neck does not erode easily. The neck is hardened magma left in the vent. Lava once flowed through the vent. In South Africa, the Kimberley mines are volcanic necks from which diamonds are mined.
