On average there are 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes recorded worldwide per year according to the USGS. Only a portion of these are recorded because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.

On average only one of those earthquakes is 8 or higher each year.

However, the USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year and go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.
