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.

How often is there an earthquake in the world?
It is almost impossible to know because there are earthquakes of different sizes all over the world. It is said that there are earthquakes happening every where every day. Most are so small they did not register on the Richter Scale and many that do are so small they are not worth mentioning as no one notices or feels them. The only ones that get mentioned and recorded with geological survey centers are the ones that register or are significant enough to be felt or have an effect on anything.

How many earthquakes occur in china every year?
Japan gets tons of earthquakes, about one every year, because of Japan's position. Japan sits on a subduction zone, meaning plates slide under another causing friction and earthquakes. Sometimes, Japan will get a tsunami caused by their frequent earthquakes.
