What damage did the super eruption in glencoe cause?
The super eruption in Glencoe, known as the Glen Coe ignimbrite eruption, occurred around 420 million years ago. It caused widespread devastation, including massive volcanic ash and rock debris deposits, which covered vast areas and likely led to significant environmental impacts and changes in the region. The eruption was part of a series of catastrophic events associated with the Caledonian orogeny, shaping the landscape of modern-day Scotland.
Is Krakatoa a super volcano?
Okay from what we have found out so far 2012, it looks like Krakatoa is a super volcano. Pre 1883 The was a earlier Caldera forming eruption, which split the main land of Java and Sumatra apart. This lead to the formation of the Sunda Straits. (super eruption) 416 AD Krakatoa was again mentioned in the book of kings. In recent eruptions it has not had a large super eruption, but as we all know who like the story of Krakatoa it 'child' Anakrakatoa is a source of concern. So there's my answer circa 2012 :0)

Did Yellowstone erupt in the past?
Yes. Yellowstone has produced numerous eruptions including three super eruptions from its present location. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago while the last magmatic eruption was about 70,000 years ago.
Should people be worried about an eruption in Yellowstone?
Most likely not. A recent study found the probability of a Krakatoa-sized eruption to be about 1 in 200,000 in any given year. The probability of a super eruption was far less likely. Seismic analysis suggests that the magma chamber is starting to cool and crystallize, making it too viscous to erupt unless there is a dramatic change. There is a common misconception that Yellowstone is "overdue" for a super eruption, as it erupts every 600,000 years and the last super eruption was 640,000 years ago. In reality the volcano does not erupt regularly and has gone much longer spans without a super eruption. The current volcano has produced three super eruptions 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago. This gives intervals of 800,000 and 660,000 years. However, three events is not enough to deduce a pattern.
