Volcanoes that will never erupt again are considered extinct. Dormant volcanoes have not erupted in historic time (the last 200 years in Hawai'i) but probably will erupt again. Active volcanoes have erupted in historical time (the last 200 years in Hawai'i). Kohala, the oldest volcano on this island, last erupted about 60,000 years ago and is considered extinct. Hualalai erupted seven times in the last 2,100 years. The only historic eruptions were in 1800 and 1801.

Volcanoes are also important to climate science: in the past they would have injected large quantities of gases into the Martian atmosphere, e.g. See similar questions...
