A dormant volcano no longer erupts regularly but has lava in the batholith and is capable of erupting. An extinct volcano contains no magma and the batholith has hardened. It cannot erupt.

1)A dormant volcano is a volcano which is not currently erupting, but is believed to still be capable of erupting.
2)An EXTINCT volcano is one that has NOT erupted during the last several thousand years. Kohala volcano, Hawaii, is an extinct volcano
Here are two types of volcanoes that are not presently erupting.

its called a dormant volcano if it has been inactive for along time, but still may have a slight chance of erupting at some point in the future. If absolutely not going to erupt ever again it is a dead volcano

an extinct volcano
a dormant one may still go off at some point in the future, even though it hasn't erupted for a long time

A dormant volcano is one that could erupt, but just doesn't feel like doing it at the moment.
One that cannot erupt again (like the one Edinburgh Castle is built on - the lava has cooled and turned to granite) is called extinct.

A DORMANT volcano is one that has erupted sometime during the last several thousand years, but has NOT erupted during the last few hundred years. Mauna Kea, Hawaii is a dormant volcano.
An EXTINCT volcano is one that has NOT erupted during the last several thousand years. Kohala volcano, Hawaii, is an extinct volcano.
