Answer:

To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

dormant volcano

Extinct volcano

when there is a large amount of gas released from the volcano it indicated that the volcano may erupt in the future as the gas may be released from any chemical reaction the stopping of the gas shows the chemical reaction which took place is over or slowed down but it denotes in the near future the volcano my erupt and can cause destruction

hence it is concluded that the dormant volcano can become active with the passage of time
