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.
