This list of shield volcanoes includes active, dormant and extinct shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are one of the three types [ specify ] of volcanoes. They have a short cone shape, and have basaltic lava which means the lava has low viscosity (viscosity is a measure of the ability for a liquid to flow)

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. [1] A volcano that is not currently erupting but could erupt in the future is known as a dormant volcano. [1]
The volcano was dormant from 1977 then showed signs of unrest since 1991 with strong seismic activity and ground-fracturing events, as well as the formation of small mud geysers on parts of the island. An eruption occurred in January 2020. Kanlaon Volcano, the most active volcano in the central Philippines, has erupted 25 times since 1866 ...

This is a list of active, dormant and extinct volcanoes in Australia and its island territories. Note that the term volcano is used loosely as it can include groups of related volcanoes and vents that erupted at similar times with lava of related origin.
The Cascade volcanoes have had more than 100 eruptions over the past few thousand years, many of them explosive eruptions. [21] However, certain Cascade volcanoes can be dormant for hundreds or thousands of years between eruptions, and therefore the great risk caused by volcanic activity in the regions is not always readily apparent.
