TL;DR Summary

Recent earthquake activity at Campi Flegrei, a supervolcano in southern Italy, has raised concerns about a potential super eruption. However, scientists explain that being labeled a supervolcano means it had a super eruption in the past, but it doesn't necessarily indicate future super eruptions. Only about 20 out of over 1,000 known volcanoes are considered supervolcanoes, characterized by colossal eruptions that can eject a volume of around 1,000 cubic kilometers or more. While the recent activity is a cause for concern, experts believe it is more likely due to underground adjustments rather than an imminent eruption.
