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.
It was only in 1885 that a seismograph in Europe detected an earthquake in Japan, and we have global coverage, even for very large events, only since 1900 or so. Below is a graph, based on USGS data, for the annual number of M=7.5 and M=8 earthquakes from 1900 to 2001. The high levels between 1900 and 1918 were real. The instruments might have overrated some events, but also it is still possible that some events were missed in those years.
