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.
Alaska has 11% of the world's earthquakes, and 3 of the 6 largest in recorded history were located there. Since 1900, Alaska has had 1 magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake per year, 45 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or 7, and 10,000 quakes overall annually. The most famous earthquake, of course, was the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake centered near Prince William Sound. With a magnitude 9.2 over 4.5 minutes, this devastating temblor and resulting tsunami took the lives of 100 people, and turned the city of Anchorage into a disaster area.
