Best Answer

yellow stone park in usa has the worlds most powerful super volcano

There was another supervolcano at Lake Toba. It erupted 73,000 years ago and wiped the human race to only 100,000.

The most powerful volcano(s) in the history of the Earth is the Siberian traps that erupted 250 million years ago. They were far more powerful than any supervolcano. By they are long extinct.

One of the largest supervolcanoes in the world lies beneath Yellowstone National Park. The explosion would have a force 2,500 times that of Mount St. Helens. The size of the supervolcano is measured at roughly 34 miles by 45 miles.

Another Super Volcano is Lake Toba in Indonesia. It erupted 73,000 years ago and is said to have killed most of the human race and affected the generic inheritance of all humans today.

Do taller volcanoes cause a more powerful eruptions?

Not necessarily. The most powerful eruptions generally come from stratovolcanoes. These can be very tall, but do not have to be. The second most powerful eruption of the Twentieth Century was the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. This volcano is not nearly as tall as other stratovolcanoes. The most powerful eruptions come from supervolcanoes that often fail to build into any sort of mountain.
