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.

On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes of magnitude 2 or greater worldwide every year by the National Earthquake Information Center.

Major earthquakes, greater than magnitude 7, happen more than once per month. "Great earthquakes", magnitude 8 and higher, occur about once a year.

On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000recorded earthquakes worldwide every year by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center.

Between 2000 and 2012 the average number of earthquakes in just the US alone was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher.

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.

For the list of the earthquakes on any given day (recent or historic), visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.

There can be about 50 earthquakes per day, which results to be about 20,000 per year.

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.
