Earthquake statistics

Number of quakes per year

Note:
The apparent increase in the number of quakes is not because global seismic activity has increased, but because the number of seismic networks around the world and their sensitivity to detect smaller quakes has been constantly increasing.
This is most evident if one looks at the number of smaller earthquakes (below magnitude 5). For larger quakes (magnitude 5 or more), the effect disappears after around the 1990s. Since then, the global coverage of earthquake of larger quakes has been nearly complete.

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 54 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1.3 quakes on average per year near Epi volcano:
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 0.12 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 8.5 years)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 0.6 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.7 years)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 0.65 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.5 years)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 0.65 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.5 years)

East Epi volcano (Vanuatu) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 6 December-12 December 2023 (Continuing Activity)

On 4 December the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department (VMGD) reported that minor unrest continued at East Epi during November. Volcanic seismicity was sustained, though no activity was observed above the ocean surface. The Alert Level remained at 1 (on a scale of 0-5) and the public was warned to stay outside of the Danger Zone, defined as a 2-km radius around the active submarine vent. ... Read all
