Dormant volcanos are volcanos that might have a chance of erupting after a few years.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have read on other reliable sources that a dormant volcano is a volcano that has not erupted for over 600 years. An active volcano has erupted in the last 600 years.

It means that while it might erupt again in the future, at this time it is very unlikely to erupt.

Volcanoes are considered dormant after a long time of not being active. When considered extinct, there are no records of activity.
