TYPES OF VOLCANO BASED ON ACTIVITY:

Active volcano

Currently in a state of regular eruptions and expected to
erupt again very soon; had an eruption within the last 10,000
years or so.

Dormant volcano

One capable of erupting, and will probably erupt in the future,
but it had no eruption for a very long time.

Extinct volcano

Never had an eruption before and is not expected to erupt in the future.

Example:

Glowing avalanche

Most dangerous type of volcanic eruption. When freshly erupted magma
forms hot pyroclastic flow whose temperatures reach up to 1,200 °C and
reaches distances between 10 km – 40 km from the original disaster site.
