Question 31 • FHS 2016 TX-Earth and Space Science

What are the three stages of volcanic activity?

Answer
A
active, magma, lava
B
eruption, quiet, explosive
C
extinct, eruption, explosive
D
active, dormant, extinct

Explanation

Volcanoes are commonly classified by their activity as active, dormant, or extinct. An active volcano is erupting or may erupt again soon, a dormant volcano is temporarily quiet but could erupt in the future, and an extinct volcano is not expected to erupt again. Therefore, “active, dormant, extinct” is correct.
