Answer:

Mount Iraya: Active Volcano

Based on the latest information posted on the website of PHIVOLCS, Mount Iraya in Batanes is classified as an active volcano. This is because the latest eruption of Mount Iraya happened in 1454, which is still within the 600 year range for historical eruptions.

Explanation:

Volcanoes are classified as active, potentially active, or inactive, according to PHIVOLCS. There are 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines. When a volcano has had a recorded eruption in the last 600 years, it is classified as active by PHIVOLCS. Furthermore, when a geologic sample from a volcanic deposit is dated within the previous 10,000 years, a volcano can be categorized as active. Potentially active volcanoes, on the other hand, have no historical eruptions or geological records dating back more than 10,000 years. Finally, if a volcano hasn't erupted in millions of years, it's labeled as inactive and deep gullies can be found in its flanks.
