According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Center there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.
Between 2000 and 2011 the average number of earthquakes in just the US was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher, which is on average 10.5 per day. But as with most earthquakes, most of these are in rural areas and not even felt.
For magnitude 7 and higher there is on average 1 every 2 years in the US typically in Alaska, California or Hawaii.
What else can I help you with?
Was there any earthquake in America today?
On average the number of earthquakes just in the United States is 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher according to the USGS.That's over 10 per day so somewhere in the US there was an earthquake - the most of which are located in Alaska and California. Granted that most of those earthquakes are small with no noticeable damage to people or property.There are actually many more smaller earthquakes each day in US with magnitude less than 2.5, many of which hit remote areas and go undetected.
How many earthquakes do you experience per day?
Approximately 275 that are large enough to be felt by humans. For more information, see below: According to the US Geological Survey there are approximately 1,000,000 earthquakes around the world every year (although the vast majority of these are so small they can only be detected by sensitive scientific equipment). Of these 1,000,000, approximately 1/10 are large enough to be felt by humans. This means that on any given day there will be an average of 2750 earthquakes around the world of which 275 are large enough to be felt by humans. Perhaps even more surprisingly, on average there are around 100 earthquakes a year that are large enough to cause damage (however they often don't because they occur away from inhabited areas). This means there is a little under a 1 in 3 chance of there being a "large" earthquake somewhere in the world on any given day of the year.
What is the average number of earthquakes per year?
I have been doing some maths and found that in the average year, you'd get about 3,610,364(3 million, 6hundred and 10 thousand, 3hundred and sixty four) earthquakes in a year. Ofcourse these are all around the globe. About 2 million of these are bellow 2 on the Richter scale.
How many earthquakes occur every year?
According to the US Geological Survey there are approximately 1,000,000 earthquakes around the world every year (although the vast majority of these are so small they can only be detected by sensitive scientific equipment). Of these 1,000,000, approximately 1/10 are large enough to be felt by humans. This means that on any day there will be on average 275 earthquakes around the world that can be felt. Perhaps even more surprisingly, on average there are around 100 earthquakes a year that are large enough to cause damage (however they often don't because they occur away from inhabited areas). This means there is a little under a 1 in 3 chance of there being a "large" earthquake on any given day. The British Geological Survey have published some data on the annual average frequency of earthquakes of varying magnitudes: Description : Magnitude : Frequency per year Great : > = 8.0: 1 Major : 7.0 - 7.9: 17 Strong : 6.0 - 6.9 : 134 Moderate : 5.0 - 5.9 : 1319 Light : 4.0 - 4.9 : 13,000 (estimated) Minor: 3.0 - 3.9 : 130,000 (estimated) Very minor : 2.0 - 2.9: 1,300,000 (estimated)
What us state gets most earthquakes?
Alaska experiences the most earthquakes of any U.S. state due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for its high seismic activity. California also experiences a significant number of earthquakes, particularly along the San Andreas Fault.
How many earthquakes have the US had?
Earthquakes (big and small) happen so many times a day, it is impossible to put a number on it.
How many earthquakes happen in the US every day?
On average, there are about 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year, with about 100,000 of those able to be felt. In the United States specifically, there are usually around 20,000 to 30,000 earthquakes each year, most of them small.

How many barrels of oil did the US consume per day in 2010?
Approximately 19.15 million barrels per day in 2010.
How many times has Japan experienced earthquakes?
Japan, being on a natural faultline, has earthquakes all the time. It is believed that the land of the country was formed completely from earthquake activity, pushed up from the Earth through the ocean. You would need to specify a time frame seeing as there's been so many earthquakes in Japan over the centuries.
In the US how many earthquakes were reported measuring 4.0-4.9?
The amount of earthquakes would be 4.
