Imagine a volcano like a sleepy dragon. It wakes up when its fire is ready, and it goes back to sleep when the fire runs out, for now. When a volcano goes to sleep, we call that volcano dormancy. But just because it's sleeping doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. Some volcanoes might even wake up after hundreds of years!
Examples
- Mount Vesuvius was quiet for hundreds of years before it woke up and destroyed Pompeii.
- Volcanoes are like sleepy dragons, they might take a nap, but they come back stronger.
