About how many felt earthquakes per year in Oklahoma?
That question is impossible to answer... sorry :(
Why does Vancouver have so many earthquakes?
Vancouver has so many earthquakes because it is along the ring of fire, a fault line.
Why does Oklahoma have earthquakes?
Just about everywhere on Earth can have earthquakes. Some locations are more known for it than others, but it turns out that one of the largest earthquakes ever in the United States was in Missouri, a location not particularly noted for being earthquake-prone. Anywhere there's a fault, there can be earthquakes. The recent (November 2011) Oklahoma quakes occurred along the Wilzetta fault.
Are there too many earthquake swarm around cratons co ok ak nv ca mo and do they indicate awaking of the supervolcano?
No. Earthquakes in California, Nevada, and Alaska are primarily the result of normal tectonic acitvity. Some earthquakes in Alaska and northern California are associated with volcanoes, but not supervolcanoes. Earthquakes in Colorado, Missouri, and Oklahoma are related to intraplate stresses and have nothing to do with volcanic activity. Some earthquakes in Oklahoma may be triggered by hydraulic fracturing used to extract oil and natural gas.
Why does Haiti have so many earthquakes?

What plates are under Oklahoma and how many?
Oklahoma is located entirely on the North American Plate well away from any plate boundaries. The earthquakes that have been striking Oklahoma are intraplate earthquakes associated with stresses and faults in the interior of the plate.

These may be related to hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and natural gas.

No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
Are there many earthquakes in Madagascar?
No because Madagascar is not in-between two continental plates so they don't have many earthquakes.

Earthquakes (big and small) happen so many times a day, it is impossible to put a number on it.
