It is difficult to predict exactly when a super volcano eruption at Yellowstone National Park may occur. Geologists continue to monitor signs of volcanic activity, but there is currently no imminent threat of eruption. The last super eruption was around 640,000 years ago, so it could be hundreds or thousands of years before the next one.
The Lake Toba super volcano eruption occurred around 74,000 years ago and is estimated to have been a mega-colossal eruption, one of the largest in the last two million years. It is said to have released about 2,800 cubic kilometers of volcanic material into the atmosphere.
There is no record of the Yellowstone super volcano erupting in recent history, including in my lifetime. The last major eruption at Yellowstone occurred about 640,000 years ago.
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.
Krakatoa is not classified as a super volcano. It is a volcanic island located in Indonesia and is known for its explosive eruptions in 1883. Super volcanoes are characterized by having eruption magnitudes of 8 or higher on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), which Krakatoa does not meet.

A super volcano is a huge sized volcano that can erupt, the eruption will create crater sized holes around the eruption.

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.
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.
