  1. No, there are several supervolcanoes.

    Lake Taupo, North Island, New Zealand

    Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia

    These are VEI-8 magnitude.

    Below are some websites with info about them


  2. Lake Toba in Indonesia.

  3. No, there are several around the world.  Yellowstone is located in the Northwest Corner of Wyoming.  The edges of  Yellowstone National Park extend slightly into Montana and Idaho.

    Around the world there are several other volcanic areas that can be considered "supervolcanoes"- Long Valley in eastern California, Toba in Indonesia, and Taupo in New Zealand. Other "supervolcanoes" would likely include the large caldera volcanoes of Japan, Indonesia.

    Long Valley

    Valley Grande

    Lake Taupo

    Aira

    Lake Toba

    Siberian Traps

    Yellowstone
