Graph showing the annual average number of worldwide earthquakes of each magnitude calculated over the last 20 years. This shows how earthquake numbers decrease as magnitude increases. For example: there are roughly ten times as many earthquakes of magnitude 6 than magnitude 7.CLICK TO ENLARGE.n average there are about 15 earthquakes every year with a magnitude of 7 or greater. As with any almost random phenomena, the number of earthquakes each year varies slightly from this average, but in general, there are no dramatic variations.
Earthquakes with magnitudes less than 3 occur every day, and are generally not felt by people. A magnitude of 3 to 5 is considered minor, while a quake with a magnitude of 5 to 7 is moderate to strong. At the higher end, these quakes can be destructive to cities. Earthquakes from 7 to 8 are major; about 15 of these occur annually. Every year, at least one earthquake with a magnitude over 8 â a great quake â wreaks havoc.
