Volcanoes can be active, dormant, or extinct. Active volcanoes have erupted recently and may erupt again, like Kilauea in Hawaii. Dormant volcanoes are sleeping but still dangerous as they can awaken and erupt. Extinct volcanoes are thought unable to erupt again, but some dormant volcanoes were once considered extinct. While most active volcanoes are on land, about two-thirds are underwater. Countries with many active volcanoes include Indonesia, Japan, and the United States.

They are called active volcanoes, because
they erupted in the past and they can
erupt again. Some active volcanoes are

Kilanea is an active volcano Hawaii.
There are also dormant volcanoes.
There volcanoes are sleeping. They
are dangerous too. They can wake
up and erupt again.
Some volcanoes are extinct. Extinct
volcanoes are volcanoes we think
can´t erupt again. But sometimes they wake up!
Visuvisus is an extinct volcano in
Italy. It is a very famous volcano
because there was a terrible
eruption in 79 A.D.
Only one third of the world´s

The others are under the sea. The underwater volcanoes can grow.
