Mount Etna in Italy is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It has frequent eruptions and is constantly monitored by scientists.
Mount Shasta is classified as an active stratovolcano, meaning it has the potential for future eruptions. However, the volcano has not erupted in about 200 years, so it is considered dormant rather than actively erupting. Scientists continue to monitor Mount Shasta for any signs of volcanic activity.
Mt. Shasta first erupted (was formed) about 600,000 years ago. It last erupted - a small eruption - about 150 years ago, but it is still considered an "active" volcano, though currently rather quiet.
Yes, Mount Lassen is still considered an active volcano. Its most recent eruption was in 1915, and it is closely monitored for any signs of potential volcanic activity.
No, Mount Katmai is not extinct. Although it is not currently erupting, it is still considered an active volcano. Its last known eruption was in 1912.
