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

∙ 11y agoFor last 10 years there were about 50 earthquakes each day, or about 20,000 a year worldwide by the USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC). In ten years (2002-2012), the number of recorded earthquakes worldwide is closer to 287,000.
The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.

How many earthquakes happen in California each year?
On average, 102 occur per day, with 37,283 occurring per year.
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 season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
Are there more earthquakes or tornadoes?
Earthquakes, by far, occur most frequently. On average, each year, there are about 1,800 tornadoes are recorded. The actual number of tornadoes is probably higher, most likely a few thousand, due to the many tornadoes that escape detection. By contrast, between five hundred thousand and 1 million earthquakes are recorded each year, of which 100,000 are strong enough to be felt.
How many earthquakes were recorded in 2008?
There were 22,289 recorded earthquakes in 2011 worldwide according to the USGS. 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.
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.
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 Chile a year?

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
How many earthquakes happened each year?
Around several million earthquakes happen around the world each 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 many earthquakes occur in the us ever year?
Between 3000-4000
How many earthquakes happen in California each year?
On average, 102 occur per day, with 37,283 occurring per 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 happen a year?
more than a thousand each year
