Earthquake statistics

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 7,900 quakes on average per year in Chile:
  • Mag. 8 or higher: 0.19 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 5.3 years)
  • Mag. 7 or higher: 0.9 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.1 years)
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 10.5 quakes per year
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 112 quakes per year (or 9.3 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 737 quakes per year (or 61 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 4,100 quakes per year (or 11.3 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 7,900 quakes per year (or 21.6 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 7,900 quakes per year (or 21.7 quakes per day)
Chile has a very high level of seismic activity. Chile has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 9 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.
