There are many earthquakes each year that cause no damage, but the ones that do can be fatal. It is estimated that an average of 13,298 die each year as a result of earthquakes.
According to the US Geological Survey for the years from 2000 to 2010 there have been an average of 63,000 deaths per year due to earthquakes globally. This is based on the estimated number of earthquake deaths annually. The annual estimated figures can vary significantly from year to year depending on the occurrence and location of large earthquakes. For example in 2000 there were only 231 estimated earthquake deaths globally, whereas in 2004 there were 228,802 (which most likely corresponds to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake) and in 2010 there have been an estimated 226,215 (due in part to the very large number of deaths in the January 2010 Haitian earthquake). Please see the related links for the source of this data and for further information on some of the large earthquakes mentioned.
The Thailand tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004, caused by a massive undersea earthquake. It resulted in significant devastation and loss of life not only in Thailand but also in several other countries surrounding the Indian Ocean.
Mexico's biggest earthquake occurred in 1985. This devastating earthquake, known as the Mexico City earthquake, had a magnitude of 8.0 and caused widespread destruction and loss of life.
The Haiti earthquake occurred on January 12, 2010. It was a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake that caused widespread destruction and loss of life in Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince.
The number of deaths caused by hurricanes varies significantly from year to year, depending on factors such as the frequency and intensity of storms, population density in affected areas, and preparedness measures. On average, hurricanes can cause hundreds to thousands of fatalities annually, but some years may see significantly higher numbers due to particularly devastating storms. For instance, the 2005 hurricane season, which included Hurricane Katrina, resulted in over 1,800 deaths, while other years may report much lower figures. Overall, the annual death toll can fluctuate widely based on these variables.
On average, about 24 deaths are caused by champagne cork accidents each year.
On average, about 24 deaths per year are caused by champagne cork accidents.
it varies on how power the earthquake is and how the environment where the earthquake happened is. if the earthquake is powerful and the environment is strongly built the average kill will be very less compared to a strong earthquake and an environment which is not built strong enough.

430,000 deaths are caused by smoking each year.
It is not known how many deaths are caused by artichokes every year. It is possible that artichokes do not cause any deaths.
