World map of active volcanoes and plate boundaries Kīlauea's lava entering the sea Lava flows at Holuhraun, Iceland, September 2014. An active volcano is a volcano that has erupted during the Holocene (the current geologic epoch that began approximately 11,700 years ago), is currently erupting, or has the potential to erupt in the future.

Mount Silay is a stratovolcano and potentially active volcano located in Negros Island, in the Visayas area of the central Philippines. It is located inside the Northern Negros Natural Park . The area is accessible through the Silay−Lantawan Road.
The PHIVOLCS listing is the basis of this list, but with additional information, some were reclassified in the active list or the potentially active list. Volcanoes with solfataric or fumarolic activity indicating active magma supply such as Pocdol Mountains, are placed in the List of potentially active volcanoes in the Philippines. This list ...
Elsewhere, the active volcano of Kilauea in Hawaii had been erupting almost constantly from its eastern rift zone since 1983. Then in April 2018, its 35-year-long eruption ended.
Volcanoes that are not currently active, but may be either dormant or extinct or of otherwise uncertain inactive volcanic status. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Inactive volcanoes . Subcategories
Volcanoes are usually not created at transform tectonic boundaries where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes, based on their frequency of eruption or volcanism, can be defined as either active, dormant or extinct. Active volcanoes have a recent history of volcanism and are likely to erupt again, dormant ones have not erupted ...
It is unknown when the Laguna Caldera last erupted but it may have been active during the Holocene. [1] Deposits from the caldera form thick ignimbrite sheets in Rizal, Metro Manila, Laguna, and Bulacan. [2] Remnants of volcanic activity include undated maars at the southern end of Talim Island and a solfatara field on nearby Mount Sembrano. [1]
Mount Iriga, also known as Mount Asog, is an active stratovolcano in the province of Camarines Sur, in the Philippines. It is a stratovolcano about a kilometer from Lake Buhi. It rises 1,196 m (3,924 ft) with a base diameter of 10 kilometres (6.2 mi). [1] [2] It has a large crater formed due to a debris avalanche.
