Earthquake statistics

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 12,000 quakes on average per year in the Philippines:
  • Mag. 8 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)
  • Mag. 7 or higher: 0.58 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.7 years)
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 4.7 quakes per year
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 76 quakes per year (or 6.3 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 588 quakes per year (or 49 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 2,700 quakes per year (or 7.5 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 9,900 quakes per year (or 27 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 12,000 quakes per year (or 33.5 quakes per day)
The Philippines have a very high level of seismic activity. The Philippines have had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 40 to 45 years.
