If you had to build a house on a volcano, would you build it on an active one or a dormant one? Why?

I would choose to build it on a dormant volcano. Building a house on an active volcano would pose significant risks, such as potential lava flows, ash eruptions, and earthquakes. Dormant volcanoes, on the other hand, are considered less risky as they have not erupted in a long time and are not showing signs of imminent activity. By building on a dormant volcano, I would reduce the chances of experiencing a volcanic eruption and ensure the safety of myself and others living in the house.
