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 4.6 quakes on average per year near Awu volcano:

Mag. 5 or higher: 0.14 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 7.2 years)
Mag. 4 or higher: 0.71 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.4 years)
Mag. 3 or higher: 2.3 quakes per year
Mag. 2 or higher: 2.5 quakes per year

Awu volcano (Sangihe Islands) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 10 April-16 April 2024 (New Activity / Unrest)

PVMBG reported that an increase in both deep and shallow volcanic earthquakes at Awu were recorded on 22 March and again during 10-15 April. Tiltmeter data from two stations recorded inflation during 1 March-16 April. The Alert Level was raised to 3 (on a scale of 1-4) at 1800 on 16 April and the public was warned to stay at least 5 km away from the crater's center. ... Read all

Awu volcano (Sangihe Islands) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 31 January-6 February 2024 (Continuing Activity)

In a press release for Awu, PVMBG reported that both the number and intensity of earthquake events increased during 29-31 January; the signals possibly indicated the movement of magma to shallower depths. Inflation had been recorded since June 2023 and was ongoing. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to stay at least 3 km away from the summit crater. ...
