What is the average number of earthquakes per year?

Answer 1

I have been doing some maths and found that in the average year, you'd get about 3,610,364(3 million, 6hundred and 10 thousand, 3hundred and sixty four) earthquakes in a year. Ofcourse these are all around the globe. About 2 million of these are bellow 2 on the Richter scale.

Answer 2

On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes of magnitude 2 or greater worldwide every year by the National Earthquake Information Center.

Major earthquakes, greater than magnitude 7, happen more than once per month. "Great earthquakes", magnitude 8 and higher, occur about once a year.

Answer 3

On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000recorded earthquakes worldwide every year by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center.

Between 2000 and 2012 the average number of earthquakes in just the US alone was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher.

However, the USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year and go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.

For the list of the earthquakes on any given day (recent or historic), visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.

Answer 4

On average, there are about 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. However, the vast majority of these earthquakes are so small that they go unnoticed by humans. Only a small fraction of these earthquakes are strong enough to be felt and a very small percentage cause significant damage.

Answer 5

There can be about 50 earthquakes per day, which results to be about 20,000 per year.

Answer 6

Around 500,000 earthquakes are detected each year.

Answer 7

there are practicly millions, but most you can not feel. wowwow
