Strictly speaking the answer is "infinite." The smaller the earthquake magnitude, the more frequent they are and the harder they are to detect. There are scads of tiny earthquakes barely big enough to detect, and probably far more that are even smaller.
As a practical matter hardly anybody's going to notice anything smaller than magnitude 4 or so.
Each year, thousands of underwater earthquakes occur, with estimates often exceeding 20,000. Most of these are minor and go unnoticed, as they are detected only by seismometers and do not pose a threat to land. The exact number can vary depending on geological activity, but the majority occur in tectonically active regions like mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
The San Andreas Fault is responsible for thousands of earthquakes each year, though the vast majority are too small to be felt by people. Major earthquakes along the fault occur less frequently, with significant events happening every few decades.
The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
Extremely few. Most earthquakes happen in the ocean, or too far below the crust for us to feel them, but hundreds happen every week.
On average, there are about 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year, with about 100,000 of those able to be felt. In the United States specifically, there are usually around 20,000 to 30,000 earthquakes each year, most of them small.
Thousands occur every year, most of which are too small to notice.
On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes every year.The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year but many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.

Lots and lots of earthquakes are happening every day, but many of these are too small, or hit in an unpopulated area, to be counted. However. there are about 70 strong registered earthquakes a year
It is not fixed.
more than a thousand each year
Between 3000-4000
It is impossible to tell. 2010 was a year of numerous large earthquakes around the globe. However, many smaller earthquakes occurred and many more that were too weak to be measured. It is estimated that millions of earthquakes occur each year.
Istaanbul. you'll be surprised to see how many earthquakes hit there every year.....*ohh*
