The type of volcano you would most expect to erupt is an active volcano. Active volcanoes are those that have erupted recently and have the potential to erupt in the future. In contrast, composite volcanoes (also known as stratovolcanoes) are a particular type of active volcano characterized by their steep profiles and explosive eruptions. Dormant volcanoes are currently inactive but have the potential to erupt in the future, while extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt again.
