volcanoes that contain small amounts of carbon dioxide<<<<WRONG!!
VOLCANOES THAT HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SILICA!!!!
^
wrong again
A supervolcano (Caldera) has a VEI (volcanic explositivity index) of up to 8 namedly 'The Yellow Stone Caldera' and 'Lake Toba.' Lake Toba Erupted 2800KM3 of ash and lava.
The Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming, USA is considered one of the most explosive volcanoes due to its history of massive eruptions, with the most recent one occurring around 640,000 years ago. It has the potential for producing cataclysmic eruptions that could have significant global consequences.
The most explosive type of volcano is a rhyolite caldera complex. It is a volcanic system that is made up of a series of overlapping craters. An example of this type of volcano is Yellowstone.
Nobody really knows. Krakatoa and Toba would be high on anyones list though.
6 Super volcanoes:
the Yellowstone, Long Valley, and Valles Caldera in the United States;
Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia;
Taupo Volcano, North Island, New Zealand;
and Aira Caldera, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyūshū, Japan.
The most explosive volcanic eruption was the Toba super-eruption 74,000 years ago.
- Ranked 8 on the VEI (highest ranking)
- Toba released over 2,800 cu kilometers (670 cubic miles) of magma
- The eruption released enough CO2 to equal Humanity's current annual output (2013)
- The Toba eruption lowered the Earth's global temperature 4 degrees
- It almost wiped out humanity.

Did Hawaiian volcano have the most explosive eruption?
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
Is Krakatoa a explosive or non-explosive?
Krakatoa is a volcano that erupted. In the eruption, gases were trapped below the cap of the volcano. The explosive eruption occurred when the pressure was enough to blow the cap off of the volcano.
Was mauna loa a quiet or explosive eruption?
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
Is mt st helens non-explosive or explosive?
Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Does a composite volcano erupt quietly or explosively?
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
Is a Cinder Cone volcano A non explosive or explosive volcano?
a cinder con volcano is an explosive volcano
Is the Yellowstone volcano quiet explosive or both?
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
Is a Hawaiian volcano an explosive volcano?
Generally not. Most eruptions in Hawaii are effusive.
Did Hawaiian volcano have the most explosive eruption?
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
Is kilauea a supervolcano?
No. A supervolcano is a volcano that is capable of producing extremely large explosive eruptions. Kilauea is a shield volcano. Most of its eruptions are non-explosive or only mildly explosive.
Is the akutan volcano explosive or nonexplosive?
is akutan volcano explosive or nonexplosive
Is a shield volcano explosive or not?
Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
Is Krakatoa a explosive or non-explosive?
Krakatoa is a volcano that erupted. In the eruption, gases were trapped below the cap of the volcano. The explosive eruption occurred when the pressure was enough to blow the cap off of the volcano.
