In terms of the yellowstone super volcano, those super volcanoes are totally in a class by themselves.
Yellow stone has gone basically Super Nova three times in the last 2.1 million years.
The last super volcano allegedly was Togo some 70,000 years ago, and there is much evidence that it nearly caused the extinction of the what then amounted to the human race.
There have been countless more normal volcano eruptions since Togo, but not any real clues of what the precursors of a super volcano eruption are. For that matter, we ill understand the predictive precursors of a more normal volcano.
But if KDOG wants, he could google super volcano or the yellowstone super volcano and then sort through the speculations. At least the physics of a super volcano are fairly well understood.
