Are Mt Unzen, the Japan, Mt Pinatubo, the philippines,active, dormant or extinct?
446515
Mount Pinatubo is (thank God) dormant... if it ever become active again... it's ashes will reach other neighboring countries.... if a volcano is completely dormant for very very long years and the crater seems sealed-up and no more magma flows inside... it's EXTINCT.

There are approximately 1500 active volcanoes in the world. About 150 of them are located all along the ring of fire.\n\n:)

Kilauea volcano, on the southernmost Island of Hawaii, is one of the most active on Earth. It predominantly erupts basaltic lava in effusive eruptions, although occasionally it experiences explosive eruptions as well. Kilauea sits on the southeasten side of the Big Island of Hawaii, resting on the flanks of it's larger neighbor volcano Manua Loa (see map at right). Kilauea stands just under 4200 feet tall at it's highest point. Kilauea has a 165m deep circular caldera at its summit that measures 3x5km (or 6x6 km, including the outermost ring faults). It is said that Kilauea is the home to Pele, the volcano goddess of ancient Hawaiian legends. \n    The current eruption of Kilauea (known as the Pu`u `O`o Eruption) started in Jan. 1983 and as of January 2000, had produced 1.9 km3of lava, had covered 102 km2, and had added 205 hectares to Kilauea's southern shore. In the process, lava flows unfortunately destroyed 181 houses and resurfaced 13 km of highway with as much as 25 m of lava. It has also destroyed a the National Park visitor center and a 700 year-old Hawaiian temple ("Waha'ula heiau"). There are no signs that the current eruption is slowing or will come to an end anytime soon.\n \n(~~)

An active volcano is an upward current of molten rock. If you dumped radioactive waste into it, the parts that wouldn't be vaporized (and thereby spread through the atmosphere) would be thinned and distributed in the lava, spreading the problem rather than getting rid of it.\n\nWhat you might be thinking of is called a subduction zone, where two tectonic plates meet and one is pulled below the other. In that case, nuclear waste with a decay sufficiently low so that its earliest expected reappearance would lead to radiation levels below the average environmental level could be feasible. Getting the stuff into a deep cavern in a tectonically stable plate and leaving it there for about the same time would work at least as well, so I'd leave out tectonic activities when looking for an end storage for nuclear waste.

Morne Diablotins - Dominica\nThe mountain is volcanic, and erupted 30,000-40,000 years ago. There are no known historical eruptions.\n\nKick-'em-Jenny - Grenada\nAn active submarine volcano on the Caribbean sea floor 8 km north of the island of Grenada.  The volcano has erupted on at least twelve occasions since 1939 and 2001 (the last being on December 4, 2001)\n\nLa Grande Soufrière - Guadeloupe\nor simply La Soufrière (French: "sulphur outlet"), is an active stratovolcano located on the French island of Basse-Terre, in Guadeloupe.  Last eruption in 1977\n\nMartinique, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines also have some, just follow the link, click on the country name in the right hand box and that will take you to the names of volcanoes in each of those countries (some have links with even more info about the volcano)\n\nhope this helps

If extinct/inactive volcanoes are included there are some in your region. Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia all have extinct volcanoes. Central Texas, near Austin, also has an extinct volcano. Yellowstone is probably the nearest active volcano, depending on what type of volcano you are looking for. \n\nThere are multiple 200 ft thick lava flows about 570 my old, in Virginia in the Shenandoah National Park. \nhttp://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/LivingWith/VolcanicPast/Places/volcanic_past_appalachians.html\n\nThe Carolina Slate Belt in North Carolina contains deformed volcanic rocks from a series of volcanic islands that existed about 550-650 mybp. \nhttp://www.geology.enr.state.nc.us/Mineral%20resources/mineralresources.html\n\nHick's Dome in southern Illinois is close to you:\nhttp://ebeltz.net/fieldtrips/sn-trip.html\n\nYou might look in the library for these:\nVolcanoes of the world: a regional directory, gazetteer, and chronology of volcanism during the last 10,000 years   / 2nd ed. / Tom Simkin & Lee Siebert ; with the collaboration of Russell Blong ...

The two most likely volcanoes in the US (other than Hawaii) are Mt St Helens and Mt Hood. Either could erupt next year or in 30 years, it's only a matter of time.

...And the ring of fire is located around the Pacific.  \n\nVolcanoes can also be found in Iceland, where it lies above a hot spot and a Mid Ocean Ridge.  They also tend to coincide with mantle plumes surging from the core mantle boundary as well as plate convergent (subduction) and divergent (rifts and MOR) settings, but further details can be found in various websites --> search on google.\n\nWikipedia or the United States Geologic Survey (usgs.gov?) websites may have some useful info about volcanoes.

Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano, is one of the highest island mountains in the world. Its is located on the main island of Hawaii along with its slightly smaller neighboring mountain, Mauna Loa (13,667 ft.). If Mauna Kea's height is measured from its base (18,000 feet below sea level), it surpasses even Mount Everest, and is the world's highest mountain (31,796 ft.). Although there is no historical record of Mauna Kea's eruption, geologic evidence suggests that the volcano last erupted around 1650, and eruptions are present in traditional Hawaiian folklore. According to legend, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa were the domains of two opposing goddesses, Poliahu and Pele respectively. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were produced from their violent rivalry.\n\n\n------------------\n\nRising gradually to more than 4 km above sea level, Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on our planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km, and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa's great mass another 8 km. This makes the volcano's summit about 17 km (56,000 ft) above its base! The enormous volcano covers half of the Island of Hawai`i and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined.

Dormant volcanoes are those that are not currently active (as defined above), but could become restless or erupt again. Confusion however, can arise because many volcanoes which scientists consider to be active are referred to as dormant by laypersons or in the media.\n\nExtinct volcanoes are those that scientists consider unlikely to erupt again. Whether a volcano is truly extinct is often difficult to determine. Since "supervolcano" calderas can have eruptive lifespans sometimes measured in millions of years, a caldera that has not produced an eruption in tens of thousands of years is likely to be considered dormant instead of extinct.\n\nFor example, the Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park is at least 2 million years old and hasn't erupted violently for approximately 640,000 years, although there has been some minor activity relatively recently, with hydrothermal eruptions less than 10,000 years ago and lava flows about 70,000 years ago. For this reason, scientists do not consider the Yellowstone Caldera extinct. In fact, because the caldera has frequent earthquakes, a very active geothermal system (i.e., the entirety of the geothermal activity found in Yellowstone National Park), and rapid rates of ground uplift, many scientists consider it to be an active volcano.
