It is estimated that about 30,000 earthquakes happen in California each year. However, many of these are much too small to even be noticed. Only about 15-20 earthquakes are 4.0 or higher in California annually.
The most earthquakes occur in Alaska, followed by California.
California has more earthquakes then Florida, because California sits along the San Andreas Fault line. ( )-improvement, actually California sits on a series of many fault lines, the San Andreas only being one of them. San Andreas runs most of the length of the coast of California and is well known because it has a hard "kink" near LA which causes more violent earthquakes when it shifts, and can actually be seen in the topography of some areas of California from overhead.These fault lines are also a part of the "ring of fire" which causes the majority of the earthquakes and volcanoes along the West Coast of N America, Japan, and many of the Island chains of the Pacific.
From 1680 to Jan. 12-11, there have been 65 earthquakes. Sorry, couldn't find any for the rest of 2011 or 2012.
There are fault lines in those areas, and when the earth's plates move, they cause earthquakes. There are two fault lines in San Francisco, but I do not know how much in Japan.

California has many mountains due to the complex geology of the region, which includes tectonic plate boundaries and the uplifting of the Sierra Nevada range. The state's diverse terrain, from the coastal ranges to the volcanic peaks, has been shaped by millions of years of geologic activity, creating a landscape with many prominent mountain ranges.
