162662053 , This number is constantly increasing
Europe doesn't have the greatest number of earthquakes.
There are over 7 billion (7,000,000,000) people in the world. That number is exponentially increasing.
Antarctica does not experience earthquakes.
There have been around 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes around the world every day, although most of them are not felt by humans. The number and intensity of earthquakes can vary on a daily basis depending on seismic activity.
There are Earthquakes around the world except Antarctica
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.
If its in US, Florida and North Dakota are reported to have very less number of earthquakes. Also Antarctica is a continent which has very fewer earthquakes.
The number is definitely growing. The severity is also growing but by a relatively small pace.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EarthquakeWiki says that the stations that record them have multiplied, so they record more and more earthquakes, but, as far as I have read, the number of the earthquakes IS growing.http://www.believershomepage.com/earthquakes.htmHere's some article that proves the growing size. ("funny" that 7 - 7.99 is less when 8 - 8.99 is more!)
The USGS detected 22,256 earthquakes in the year 2000 although they estimate that a much larger number occur (> 1,000,000) than can be detected as the vast majority of earthquakes are very small and occur far away from seismometer stations.
well there can be earthquakes anywhere in the world because of the tectonic plates
population is increasing
