Look up quakes! |
The United States have a moderate level of seismic activity. Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 110,000 quakes on average per year in the United States. However, the United States have had at least 9 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.
On average, The United States have about 4,000 quakes of magnitude 3 or higher per year (Mag 4+: 534 quakes per year, Mag 5+: 74 quakes per year, Mag 6+: 10.3 quakes per year).
