According to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.
Approximately 1 earthquake of magnitude 8.0 and higher occurs per year around the world.
