According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or over 100,000 per month. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean or have very small magnitudes.

The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program provides a real-time list of the most recent earthquakes around the world for the last 24-hours, 7-days, 30-days, or longer.
