Earthquake statistics

Number of quakes per year

Note:
The apparent increase in the number of quakes is not because global seismic activity has increased, but because the number of seismic networks around the world and their sensitivity to detect smaller quakes has been constantly increasing.
This is most evident if one looks at the number of smaller earthquakes (below magnitude 5). For larger quakes (magnitude 5 or more), the effect disappears after around the 1990s. Since then, the global coverage of earthquake of larger quakes has been nearly complete.

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 54 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 8.8 quakes on average per year near Akan volcano:

Mag. 6 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)
Mag. 5 or higher: 0.05 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 18.9 years)
Mag. 4 or higher: 0.51 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.9 years)
Mag. 3 or higher: 3 quakes per year
Mag. 2 or higher: 10.3 quakes per year
Mag. 1 or higher: 23.5 quakes per year

Akan volcano (Hokkaido, Japan) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 28 November-4 December 2018 (New Activity / Unrest)

JMA reported that the number of earthquakes with shallow hypocenters and epicenters near Ponmachineshiri Crater, a summit crater of Me-Akan (also known as Meakan-dake, which means Meakan Peak) of the Akan volcanic complex, increased at 1800 on 20 November. Another seismic increase occurred on 23 November, in number and amplitude of events, prompting JMA to raise the Alert Level to 2 (the second lowest level on a 5-level scale). ... Read all
