more than a thousand each year
Yes! Each year, 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes occur within Yellowstone National Park and its surroundings. And although they're too small to be felt, they reflect the nature of the Yellowstone National Park.

The most earthquakes occur in Alaska, followed by California.
About 300 or so measurable earthquakes occur around the world each day. So far, it is not possible to predict the time when an earthquake will occur. The best scientists can do is predict the frequency (once in how many years) an earthquake of a specific intensity will occur on a given fault line.

On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes every year.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.
It is impossible to tell. 2010 was a year of numerous large earthquakes around the globe. However, many smaller earthquakes occurred and many more that were too weak to be measured. It is estimated that millions of earthquakes occur each year.

Approximately 9000-10000 earthquakes strong enough to be felt occur worldwide each year.

Approximately 90% of the world's earthquakes and 75% of active volcanoes occur along the Ring of Fire each year. This region encircles the Pacific Ocean and is known for its seismic and volcanic activity due to tectonic plate boundaries.
California. California has many cracks in the state and also its rocks shift many times often causing earthquakes.(One primary cause of earthquakes in sudden shifting in subduction zones, which are areas where the tectonic plates push against each other.)
The most earthquakes occur in Alaska, followed by California.
I can't really say in detail .....but it is most likely that its because there is a default in that area ....like in California ..there are several defaults there and thousands of earthquakes occur each day there. BECAUSE its a active earthquake zone." :D Earthquakes also occur in Alaska and also; off the coast of Mexico....
Yes they do if you ask how many earthquakes happen each day.
On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes around the world every year.The USGS National Earthquake Information Center 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.To see a list of more recent (or historic) earthquakes, visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.
