Do human feel most of the earthquakes that occur each year or very few?

Extremely few. Most earthquakes happen in the ocean, or too far below the crust for us to feel them, but hundreds happen every week.

How many earthquakes happen each year that you can feel?
The US Geological Survey estimate that there are approximately 100,000 earthquakes in the world each year that will be felt by humans. Which is approximately 1 every 5 minutes!
Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake will occur than when?
Because earthquakes tend to occur where there are stresses in the crust which lead to the storage of energy in the form of elastic strain. This tends to occur at plate boundaries and this deformation can be monitored by scientists. This lets them know that an earthquake is likely to occur in a particular area, but it does not enable them to say when it will occur.
Where can you feel the earth move?
You can't feel the movement of Earth as it revolves around its axis, around the sun in its orbit, around the center of the Milky Way galaxy or as part of the Milky Way as it moves through the universe. These movements would require an ability to sense velocity which human beings cannot do. We an however feel rapid acceleration or changes of acceleration. These occur during earthquakes and volcanic events. Essentially the local area of the Earth shakes.
Where do earthquakes mostly occur?
Earthquakes usually occur near or on the border of faults. Earthquakes are constantly occuring, but usually major quakes are happening near faults. Often times when it is far from a fauly it wil be a small, or minor earthquake.
How many earthquakes in 2010 until now?
There are earthquakes almost everyday, some have small magnitudes, you can barely feel them.
How many earthquakes happen in California each year?
On average, 102 occur per day, with 37,283 occurring per year.

What do earthquakes feel like?
What earthquakes feel like will depend on how large the earthquake is. Small earthquakes might just feel like a large vehicle is driving by. Bigger earthquakes feel like floor or ground you are standing on is trembling and shaking.
How are tsunamis and aftershocks related to earthquakes?
A Tsunami is caused by an Earthquake. The ground or area of land shakes which causes a small to large wave in a body of water, which is a Tsunami. An aftershock tends to be a couple of smaller earthquakes, after a large earthquake that you are able to feel. Tons of earthquakes can occur throughout the day, but they have a big enough decimal to actually be able to feel them.
Can you feel earthquakes on the moon?
no
Where do earthquakes happen'?
Earthquakes most commonly occur along fault lines, or divisions within the Earth's crust. The Earth's crust is divided into giant plates, which move incredibly slowly (only a couple of inches a year) as they rotate around the Earth's molten core. Earthquakes occur when these plates interact with one another, such as when they collide.Most earthquakes occur in the same places as volcanoes: the ring of fire and plate boundaries. This is, of course, because it is the movement of the plate boundaries that cause the earthquake.You will get earthquakes in other places occasionally: they are rarely big enough to be felt.Earthquakes could happen anywhere in the world, but most are on faultlines where tectonic plates meet.I slept through an earthquake in Pennsylvania once...Earthquakes strike EVERYWHERE. There are thousands of earthquakes a day, though they are only a low number on the Richter scale and we cant feel them as much as a more intense earthquake.Some recent major earthquakes in Japan and Haiti.Answer:Earthquakes generally happen in areas which are close to the borders of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. As the plates slip against each other they do not slide smoothly but catch and hold causing the earthquakes.anywhere really but mostly by japan and china so near asia
How do people feel when there is an earthquakes?
people feel happy and excited

Why can you feel earthquakes hundreds of miles away?
You can feel earthquakes hundreds of miles away because of the (vibrations) that flow through the ground .
Is there such thing as earthquakes you can't feel?
yes there is
Why do you feel most earthquakes?
its shaky shaky
