There were or are several "super" volcanoes. These are not called this by people who study volcanoes. The following had VEI-8 eruptions with massive events:
Lake Toba in Sumatra (It is thought by some that this caused our human species to be nearly wiped out.)
Yellowstone in Idaho and Wyoming (has had 4 VEI-8 eruptions)
Pacana Caldera in Chile
Taupo in New Zealand (has had at least 2)
Glencoe in Scotland, Cerro Galan in Argentina
La Garita Caldera in Colorado.
Below is a list of VEI-8-6:

What else can I help you with?
How is the distribution of super volcanoes different to that of a typical volcano?
Super volcanoes are much rarer and occur at subduction zones or hotspots, while typical volcanoes are more common and found at convergent or divergent plate boundaries. Super volcanoes have the potential to release extremely large volumes of magma and ash during an eruption, on a scale much greater than typical volcanoes.
The important of volcanoes?
Volcanoes are large formations that having an opening where gases and lava can escape out of the Earth's magma chamber. Some types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, super volcanoes, and mud volcanoes. The largest volcano based on height is Tamu Massif.
How is popocatepetl different from other volcanoes?
Popocatepetl is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico and is located near a densely populated area. Its frequent eruptions pose a significant threat to the local population. Additionally, Popocatepetl is known for its symmetric cone shape and is considered one of the most iconic volcanoes in Mexico.
Where will you NOT find volcanoes?
kansas, Michigan, and Illinois
Where else can you find volcanoes other than earth?
you can only find volcanoes on the inner planets: that are Venus, mercury and mars

When the dinosaurs were alive was there a super volcano?
There were thousands of super volcanoes, Earth was only just still forming while the dinosaurs were around.
Where do find fire ants?
volcanoes
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
Classification of Volcano according to activity?
There are ten types of volcanoes. The types of volcano are as follows: fissure vents, shield volcanoes, lava domes, crypto-domes, volcanic cones, stratovolcanoes, super-volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, subglacial volcanoes, and mud volcanoes.
