Earthquake statistics

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 23,000 quakes on average per year in Greece:
  • Mag. 8 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)
  • Mag. 7 or higher: 1.15 quakes per year
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 3.1 quakes per year
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 15.6 quakes per year
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 196 quakes per year (or 16.3 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 1,800 quakes per year (or 5 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 11,000 quakes per year (or 29.7 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 22,000 quakes per year (or 61 quakes per day)
Greece has a very high level of seismic activity. Greece has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.
