What number on the Richter scale do most earthquakes fall?

Most earthquakes are classified as "microquakes" that fall in the range of 1.0 to 1.9 on the Richter scale. Several million such quakes occur each year - practically continuously. A bit over one million quakes a year fall in the range from 2.0 to 2.9 on the Richter scale. A bit over 100,000 quakes with a magnitude of 3.0 to 3.9 occur each year Light earthquakes in the range from 4.0 to 4.9 happen about 10,000 to 15,000 times each year. About 1,000 to 1,500 moderate earthquakes in the range of 5.0 to 5.9 shake things up each year. Strong earthquakes (in the range of 6.0 to 6.9) hit 100 to 150 locations on the earth each year. We get 10-20 major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) each year. An earthquakes in the range from 8.0 to 8.9 might occur once a year somewhere on the earth. Earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater only occur once every 10 to 50 years.
