Data from the British Geological Survey (see related link for source) indicates that there are approximately 170 earthquakes per year in the UK. The vast majority of these are very small in magnitude (lower than 1.9)
Magnitude - Occurence
5.0 and Above - 1 every 8 years
4 - 4.9 - 1 every 2 years
3 - 3.9 - 3 per year
2 - 2.9 - 26 per year
1 - 1.9 - 140 per year

Approximately how many earthquakes are strong enough to be felt each year worldwide?
Approximately 9000-10000 earthquakes strong enough to be felt occur worldwide each year.
How many earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the Ring of Fire each year?
Approximately 90% of the world's earthquakes and 75% of active volcanoes occur along the Ring of Fire each year. This region encircles the Pacific Ocean and is known for its seismic and volcanic activity due to tectonic plate boundaries.

How many strong earthquakes happen every year?
Lots and lots of earthquakes are happening every day, but many of these are too small, or hit in an unpopulated area, to be counted. However. there are about 70 strong registered earthquakes a year

How many earthquakes have occurred worldwide in 2010?
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.
How many earthquakes does Yellowstone have each year?
Yes! Each year, 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes occur within Yellowstone National Park and its surroundings. And although they're too small to be felt, they reflect the nature of the Yellowstone National Park.

Do many earthquakes occur?
On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes every year.The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year but many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.
How many earthquakes occur in Utah each year?
more than a thousand each year
Do thousands of earthquakes occur each year?
The US Geological Survey estimate that there are several million earthquakes each year, but the vast majority of these will not be detected because they are too small in magnitude to detect or are larger, but occur to far away from a seismometer station. From this number, they estimate that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of these will be felt by humans and 100 of them will be large enough to cause damage.
How many earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the Ring of Fire each year?
Approximately 90% of the world's earthquakes and 75% of active volcanoes occur along the Ring of Fire each year. This region encircles the Pacific Ocean and is known for its seismic and volcanic activity due to tectonic plate boundaries.
How many earthquakes occur along the San Andreas fault each year?
AnswerAccording to the USGS, the plates along the San Andrea fault move about 1.7in per year.
What number on the Richter scale do most earthquakes fall?
Most earthquakes are classified as "microquakes" that fall in the range of 1.0 to 1.9 on the Richter scale. Several million such quakes occur each year - practically continuously. A bit over one million quakes a year fall in the range from 2.0 to 2.9 on the Richter scale. A bit over 100,000 quakes with a magnitude of 3.0 to 3.9 occur each year Light earthquakes in the range from 4.0 to 4.9 happen about 10,000 to 15,000 times each year. About 1,000 to 1,500 moderate earthquakes in the range of 5.0 to 5.9 shake things up each year. Strong earthquakes (in the range of 6.0 to 6.9) hit 100 to 150 locations on the earth each year. We get 10-20 major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) each year. An earthquakes in the range from 8.0 to 8.9 might occur once a year somewhere on the earth. Earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater only occur once every 10 to 50 years.
How may earthquakes of 6 or more magnitude occur each year?
There's about 140 earthquakes with 6 magnitude or above a year.
How many earthquakes occur in the us ever year?
Between 3000-4000
