On average there are 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes recorded worldwide per year according to the USGS. Only a portion of these are recorded because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.
On average only one of those earthquakes is 8 or higher each year.
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.

∙ 9y agoAccording to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Center there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or approximately 50,000 in 2 weeks globally. Only a portion of these are actually recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean or have very small magnitudes. For the recorded earthquakes on average there are approximately 1,000 every two weeks.
For the list of the most recent earthquakes you can visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website for lists as well as locations on a world map.

Visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program for details of recent and historic earthquakes around the world. The USGS makes available lists of earthquakes by region, year, magnitude, etc. In particular, there is a map to see the most recent earthquakes for last 24-hours or 30-days as well as KML feeds for Google Earth showing recent earthquakes world-wide.
