The 3 main warning signs that a volcanic eruption is imminent are: Deformation of the surrounding land such as an increase in height. Increased seismic activity (small earthquakes and tremors) Increased production of volcanic gases eg sulphur dioxide
Animals may also act nervous or begin to migrate away from the eruption zone
It probably won't. It is commonly stated that the volcano erupts every 600,000 years, and given that its last eruption was 640,000 years ago, we are overdue. However, 600,000 years is just an average; the volcano is no that regular. The last 3 super eruptions were 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago, giving intervals of 800,000 and 660,000 years. Given the amount of variability the volcano still might not erupt for more than 100,000 years. The odds of it happening in the next few decades are rather small.
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.
Mauna Loa, a shield volcano, is not a super volcano. A super volcano is a volcano marked by the inordinately massive nature of its eruption. There are a number of candidates for the super volcano "list" made up of areas in the U.S. (and around the world), and Hawaii is not on it. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on this, the largest volcano on earth.
yes yes it is
It didn't. The Yellowstone volcano last erupted about 70,000 years ago. The last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago.

The best super volcano is most likely the "hidden" volcano in Yellowstone park.

The entire park of Yellowstone rest on a super volcano

no it isn't the mauna loa is the largest volcano in Hawaii
at the volcano
The last super volcano with a magnitude of VEI 8 was 26500 years ago in New Zealand. And the last super volcano with a magnitude of VEI 7 was 197 years ago in Indonesia.
If Ben Nevis was ever a volcano, it has been extinct for thousands of years. You may be mistaken, there is only one super volcano, or calderas, in Scotland and it has been dead since the time of the continental drift 237 Million Years ago. The Super Volcano is in the area which is known as Glencoe. It was the first Super Volcano discovered when Charles Clough first created the theory. There are currently studies happening as to whether there is a Super Volcano underneath the area of Loch Ness.
