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.
On average, Chile has about 4,100 quakes of magnitude 3 or higher per year (Mag 4+: 736 quakes per year, Mag 5+: 112 quakes per year, Mag 6+: 10.5 quakes per year).
