If the planet Earth were to be destroyed (end), it could be in two ways:

1) collision with another large object such as an asteroid

2) vaporization by the Sun expanding, or by the Sun going supernova

In either of these scenarios, the eruption of a super-volcano might be one result of damage to the crust (by impact or gravity), but would be a relatively insignificant part of the total destruction.

If human civilization were being destroyed, super-volcanoes would be one possibility, as they generate ash and gases that could produce a 'global winter' or possibly a relatively-brief Ice Age that would include mass extinctions of plants,animals, and people.

What could happen if a super volcano erupted?

If a "super volcano" erupted, depending on how big you are actually talking, the immediate area of the volcano would be engulfed in ash, rock, and of course lava. If you survived that the ash cloud would kill you. If the eruption was big enough, the ash cloud could cover half the world or even more and it could cause an ice age to happen in the future that could kill off the rest of the human race if they were not prepared.
