Southern California experiences thousands of earthquakes every year, but most are very small and go unnoticed. On average, Southern California typically experiences several hundred earthquakes each year that are large enough to be felt by people.
Lots and lots of earthquakes are happening every day, but many of these are too small, or hit in an unpopulated area, to be counted. However. there are about 70 strong registered earthquakes a year
Japan gets tons of earthquakes, about one every year, because of Japan's position. Japan sits on a subduction zone, meaning plates slide under another causing friction and earthquakes. Sometimes, Japan will get a tsunami caused by their frequent earthquakes.
On average, there are about 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year, with about 100,000 of those able to be felt. In the United States specifically, there are usually around 20,000 to 30,000 earthquakes each year, most of them small.
Thousands occur every year, most of which are too small to notice.
Nobody knows how many earthquakes can happen in a year because you cannot predict earthquakes. :)

No, not really you never have earthquakes in this country only tincy ones.
Britain typically experiences around 200-300 earthquakes each year, but most are too small to be felt by people. The country does not have major tectonic plate boundaries, so earthquakes here are usually low in magnitude.
The list of earthquakes by year (1990-Present) or by country can be found at the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website.The USGS provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2002 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for that year and previous years. Lists for historical earthquakes from earlier years are also available.
Earthquakes happen every day, all around the world. On March 20, 2014, a total of 38,289 earthquakes had happened in the past year.
