∙ 11y agoThere has been an estimated 16,667 earthquakes world-wide as of November 27, 2012 with 4.5 magnitude or greater according to the US Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center. Of those only 2 were magnitude 8.0 or greater and 14 were between magnitude 7.0 and 7.9.
On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes every year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes so the actual numbers are much greater.
