How many earthquakes are there per day in the US?
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Center there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.Between 2000 and 2011 the average number of earthquakes in just the US was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher, which is on average 10.5 per day. 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.
How many earthquakes occur along the San Andreas fault annually?
Movement along the fault causes earthquakes; several thousand occur annually, although only a few are of moderate or higher magnitude.
How many 3.0 or larger earthquakes happen in one day?
In the world there are approximately 53,139 earthquakes per year of magnitude 3.0 or greater which equates to an average of 145.6 per day. Major earthquakes of 6.0 or greater happen at the rate of 1 every 2.5 days.
How many earthquakes were recorded in 2008?
There were 22,289 recorded earthquakes in 2011 worldwide according to the USGS. 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.
