The list of earthquakes by year (1990-Present) or by country can be found at the USGS Earthquake Hazards website.
In 2010 there was one earthquake magnitude 8 or greater, which was in Chile (M 8.8).
The USGS provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2010 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for 2010 and previous years.

There 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.

Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.

The theory predicting the relative size and frequancy of earthquakes in a given area, depending on the size and frequency of other earthquakes that have accured in that area. Example:- areas that have experianced many small earthquakes may not ever be likely to experience a large one, although, areas that with go long periods of time without having an earthquake are quite likely to have a large one.
Yes. Greece had and has many earthquakes often.

Scientists are able to predict large earthquakes to a certain extent. With the use of certain statistical methods, many earthquakes are able to be predicted.
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.
I think God is just trying to freak us out about 2012.

Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
Aftershocks
There are numerous earthquakes every day along the faultline, however many are weak and cause little or no damage.
What earthquakes feel like will depend on how large the earthquake is. Small earthquakes might just feel like a large vehicle is driving by. Bigger earthquakes feel like floor or ground you are standing on is trembling and shaking.
It relates to earthquakes or other tremors in the earth, such as those caused by large explosions
Construction of large artificial lakes can induce localized earthquakes.
