Earthquake statistics

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 110,000 quakes on average per year in the United States:
  • Mag. 8 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 17.9 years)
  • Mag. 7 or higher: 0.93 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.1 years)
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 8.1 quakes per year
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 72 quakes per year (or 6 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 532 quakes per year (or 44 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 4,000 quakes per year (or 11 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 26,000 quakes per year (or 71 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 79,000 quakes per year (or 215 quakes per day)
The United States have a moderate level of seismic activity. However, the United States have had at least 8 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.
