Approximately 275 that are large enough to be felt by humans. For more information, see below:

According to the US Geological Survey there are approximately 1,000,000 earthquakes around the world every year (although the vast majority of these are so small they can only be detected by sensitive scientific equipment).

Of these 1,000,000, approximately 1/10 are large enough to be felt by humans. This means that on any given day there will be an average of 2750 earthquakes around the world of which 275 are large enough to be felt by humans.

Perhaps even more surprisingly, on average there are around 100 earthquakes a year that are large enough to cause damage (however they often don't because they occur away from inhabited areas). This means there is a little under a 1 in 3 chance of there being a "large" earthquake somewhere in the world on any given day of the year.

On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes world-wide every year. That's on average 68 per day.

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

There are little ones all the time that we don't feel, so there is no knowing how many. When a big one happens that's when you hear about it.

But as with most earthquakes, most of these are in rural areas and not even felt.For magnitude 7 and higher there is on average 1 every 2 years in the US typically in Alaska, California or Hawaii.
