Volcanoes with a record of eruptions can be classified into three main categories: active, dormant, and extinct. Active volcanoes are those that have erupted recently and are likely to erupt again, while dormant volcanoes have not erupted in a significant time but may still have the potential to erupt in the future. Extinct volcanoes are those that have not erupted for thousands of years and are not expected to erupt again. The classification helps assess their potential hazards and informs monitoring efforts.
