How many earthquakes are there per day in the US?

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 is the weakest earthquake recorded?

The weakest earthquake recorded is usually referred to as a microearthquake, which typically has a magnitude below 2.0 on the Richter scale. These earthquakes are often not felt by humans and are mainly detected by seismographs.
