The Toba eruption was massive. It was actually twice as big as Yellowstone's most recent super eruption and 12% bigger than Yellowstone'biggest super eruption, 2 million years ago. It is often called Yellowsone's "big sister." when it erupted it created a lake and wiped out 60% of the human population.
The Lake Toba super volcano is a dormant volcano and there is currently no indication that it will erupt again in the near future. However, it is monitored closely by scientists for any signs of potential activity.
They didn't prepare. The Lake Toba eruption was 74,000 years ago, before the development of civilization. The people around at the time were hunter-gatherers. They didn't know what a volcano was or how to prepare for an eruption.
The last volcano to erupt in Iceland was the Eyjafjallajökull volcano which erupted twice in April 2010, most recently on Thursday, April 15 causing flights to be delayed in airports all across Europe.Eyjafjallajökull.
volcanoes that contain small amounts of carbon dioxide<<<<WRONG!! VOLCANOES THAT HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SILICA!!!! ^ wrong again A supervolcano (Caldera) has a VEI (volcanic explositivity index) of up to 8 namedly 'The Yellow Stone Caldera' and 'Lake Toba.' Lake Toba Erupted 2800KM3 of ash and lava.
The size of the Caldera in Indonesia is about 30-35×100 km. some say 30 and some say 35 but the Yellow stone caldera is bigger. Yellowstone's is a about 85×45 km. For sizes on all of the biggest go to: http://geology.about.com/library/bl/blbigcalderas.htm
Lake Toba Sumatra
That is not true about Lake Toba. They recently discovered Lava in the Super Volcano and it is considered restless. Yellowstone could not hold a candle to what Lake Toba can do the world.

Lake Toba is a body of water that also doubles as a super volcano. The lake is found on the Indonesian island known as Sumatra. The island is located west of Indonesia.

The toba eruption was ultra plinian.

It already is, and feeding the growth of Samosir Island, in the center of Lake Toba. The Toba volcano is expected to erupt again in about 300,000 years. Plan on being out of town,

The list is too comprehensive to state them all. The easiest answer would be to say as long as it is not exclusively aquatic - fish etc, then it may live on or in or around a volcano. Lake Toba in Indonesia was once a super eruption. Now it is a massive lake hundreds of feet deep. So even aquatic life can live within a volcanic crater - if its dormant or extinct.
