Volcano or Not?

The article states "Many tourists visiting Hawaii believe that Diamond Head is a volcano although it really isn't."

This seems a bit odd. The opening sentence says that Diamond Head is a "Tuff Cone" which redirects to volcano.

So, is it a volcano or not? And if NOT, then could this be reworded to something more neutral like "Diamond Head is often mistaken for a volcano, <and here's why it isn't>." 64.173.240.130 22:39, 23 February 2007

It states in the intro that it is a "tuff cone" and the reader is one click away from learning the difference between what a true volcano is compared to a tuff or ash cone. The geology section goes on to describe it further... --Travis Thurston+ 01:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GEOLOGY

While the Koʻolau Range is about 2.6 million years old, Diamond Head is estimated to be about 150,000 years old and extinct for 150,000 years.

I don't understand what the second part of this sentence is trying to say.
