The largest swarm of earthquakes in more than 20 years struck Yellowstone National Park recently, but experts say the seismic activity shouldn't be viewed as a prelude to a major volcanic eruption.

That's good news, since a so-called super eruption there would devastate this area, change much of the region as we know it and alter the global climate for at least a couple years.

Yellowstone is home to one of the world's largest volcanoes, and the three super eruptions that have occurred there during the past 2.1 million years were cataclysmic eruptions that far exceeded any other in the world's recorded history.
