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.

JordanA super-volcano is much larger in scale and erupts with a significantly higher magnitude than a regular volcano. Super-volcanoes can release thousands of times more volcanic material and have the potential to cause global impacts due to the massive amount of ash and gas they release. Regular volcanoes, on the other hand, have more frequent but smaller eruptions that typically affect a more localized area.
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...

What type of volcano volcano produced the caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park?
supervolcano
What type of volcano produced the caldera that covers most of Yellowstone Park?
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.
What type of volcano is Mt Toba?
Mt. Toba is a supervolcano, which is a type of volcano capable of producing massive eruptions with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8, the highest level. These types of eruptions are thousands of times more powerful than typical volcanic eruptions.
What is a supervolcanos characteristics?
A supervolcano is a type of volcano capable of erupting large volumes of magma and ash in a catastrophic event. These eruptions are thousands of times more powerful than regular volcanic eruptions. Supervolcanoes have a caldera at the top, which is a large crater formed by the collapse of the volcano after a massive eruption.
What type of volcano is under most of Yellowstone National Park?
The Yellowstone Caldera, also known as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is a volcanic caldera and supervolcano estimated to be an area of about 34 X 45 miles (55 X 72 km).
