extinct volcanoes
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a
comparable time scale of the future. the extinct volcano no longer has a lava supply. an extinct volcano is no longer near an active geologic hot spot.

Mount Buninyong is large extinct volcano 15 kilometers south east of ballarat Victoria, Australia. The 745 meter volcano is on the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains.
The Scoria cone of the volcano is more than 200 meters higher than the land around it which makes it one of biggest scoria volcanoes in Victoria. The volcano erupted several times, and during one eruption the west side of the volcano was breached. In later eruptions the lava flowed through this gap in the side. It is possible that the breach was actually another crater.

Huascaran is the highest mountain in Peru and the forth highest mountain in south america. The top of it is 6768 meters (22,205 feet) high.
The mountain is located in the Ancash region of Peru. Huascaran has turned into a tourist attraction for most mountain climbers.
Huascarán is all that is left of an extinct volcano. It has been getting smaller and smaller. As recently as 1970, the Ancash Earthquake caused a big part of the mountain to crumble and fall off. That part of the mountain was all rock and ice, and it killed almost 17,000 people in small towns around the mountain.

Kyushu-Palau Ridge (KPR) is an ocean floor feature in the Philippine Sea. It is named after the nearby islands. At the northern end is the Japanese island of Kyushu. At the southern end is the Pacific island nation of Palau.
The seabed ridge begins in an area about 900km from the eastern end of the Bungo Channel or "Bungo strait" between the Japanese islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. The ridge creates a line on the ocean floor which runs southeast in the direction of the island of Palau. There is a chain of extinct volcanoes on this line.
