Estimating the exact number of active and inactive faults worldwide is challenging due to variations in geological definitions and the ongoing discovery of new faults. However, it is generally estimated that there are over a million faults globally, with thousands classified as active, particularly in seismically active regions like the Pacific Ring of Fire. Inactive faults, which have not moved in a significant amount of time, far outnumber active ones, but specific counts vary by region and geological study. Overall, continuous research and advancements in geoscience are helping to refine these estimates.
