Somewhere around the world there is probably at least one earthquake each day if not more. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Center keeps track of earthquakes around the world. According to the USGS there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean. For the latest refer to the list USGS keeps for recent earthquakes world-wide for last 7 days in related links section below. USGS also provides a real-time KML feed. There are also lists for historic earthquakes by year or region.

Forty-seven "significant" earthquakes were recorded throughout the world in 1995, 22 more than occurred in 1994, but only about two-thirds the long-term average of 60 per year. A significant earthquake, according to the USGS, is defined as one that registers a magnitude of at least 6.5, or one of lesser magnitude that causes casualties or considerable damage.The USGS, using data from seismograph stations throughout the world, presently locates from 16,000 to 19,000 earthquakes each year having magnitudes of about 1.0 up to 8.0 or more."To see a list of more recent (or historic) earthquakes, visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.
