The main difference between the two is size. Supervolcanoes are normally 30 times stronger that a regular volcano and can produce enough ash to cover the world. A supervolcano is a VEI8, and ejects over 1 trillion tons of material. Also, supervolcanoes don't have the cone shape.
Normal volcanoes have a classic cone shape.
Supervolcanoes are very large volcanoes that they can only be identified from space/air they do not have a cone shape they form a dome.
Incorrect, supervolcanoes are in the form of a caldera, a sunken area in the ground, usually round in shape, with a raised rim. Yellowstone for example is 100km in diameter
Normal volcanoes eject millions of tons of ash into the air.
Supervolcanoes eject billions of tons of ash into the air.
Learn facts and figures and ignore this guy. A supervolcano by definition must be able to eject at least 1,000 cubic kilometers of material. In any reasonable world, you'd be asked for the volume of the material, not the weight.
Normal volcanoes can cover ash over an entire state
Supervolcanoes can cover ash almost an entire country
BEEP BEEP MORON, as I said before a supervolcano must be capable of ejecting so much material. The spread and cover can vary greatly depending on winds and air pressure.
Clearly someone needs to learn Geography before answering geographical questions.
actually they do mostly ask for weight...
A supervolcano is on average 500,000 times bigger than a normal volcano. To give an exmaple, the Yellowstone supervolcano, when it erupts will shoot 60,000 times more ash into the air and the ash will cover the globe. The next Yellowstone supervolcano is 30,000 year overdue.
How is the distribution of super volcanoes different from that of volcanoes
The Yellowstone Supervolcano.

No. A cinder cone volcano is relatively small, short lived volcano. The yellowstone volcano is a supervolcano. It does not fit into the more common classes.
The caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park was produced by a supervolcano. A supervolcano is an explosive volcano capable of producing an eruption with an ejecta volume greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers. The Yellowstone Caldera is one of the largest and most active supervolcanoes in the world.
The Yellowstone Supervolcano.

No. It is a caldera.
One can find information about a supervolcano at Wikipedia, various websites where geologists and volcano enthusiasts gather and discuss information about supervolcano.
supervolcano
A Supervolcano is a volcano characterized by the large area it affects. A supervolcano is generally accepted to be a volcano that discharges ash, lava, or pumis deposits that spread over 240 or more cubic miles from its center. The Indonesian Toba is an example of 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.
The Yellowstone volcano is usually called a supervolcano.
No. A cinder cone volcano is relatively small, short lived volcano. The yellowstone volcano is a supervolcano. It does not fit into the more common classes.
The Yellowstone volcano is usually called a supervolcano.
No. Lake Taupo is in the caldera of a highly explosive supervolcano.
The Lava Creek Tuff was produced by a supervolcano.
