The video by Yuvraj covers the types of volcanoes: active, dormant, and extinct. Active volcanoes frequently erupt and are mostly found around the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire. Dormant volcanoes have not erupted in recent history but are not extinct, with examples like Kilimanjaro. Extinct volcanoes, such as Chimborazo, no longer have volcanic activity. The video also shares interesting facts, like Olympus Mons being the largest volcano in the solar system and Venus having the most volcanoes. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to like and subscribe.
