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 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 22,000 quakes on average per year near Fagradalsfjall volcano:
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 1.2 quakes per year
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 34.7 quakes per year (or 2.9 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 294 quakes per year (or 24.5 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 1,700 quakes per year (or 4.6 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 8,700 quakes per year (or 23.7 quakes per day)

Fagradalsfjall volcano (Iceland) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 2 August-8 August 2023 (Continuing Activity)

At 1706 on 5 August IMO lowered the Aviation Color Code for Fagradalsfjall to Yellow (the second level on a four-color scale), noting that the eruption had declined during the previous few days and very minor activity at the crater was visible in webcam images. Tremor had decreased during the previous 36 hours and reached background levels by 1500 on 5 August. Gas plumes had typically risen 1-2 km above the vent, though on 1 August plumes rose more than 2.5 km, and according to news articles, a notable amount of fume rose from the vent on 4 August. ...

Fagradalsfjall volcano (Iceland) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 26 July-1 August 2023 (New Activity / Unrest)

IMO reported that lava continued to erupt from main vent at Fagradalsfjall during 26 July through 2 August with no significant changes. Lava fountaining persisted in the active vent according to webcam images throughout the week. The lava effusion rate had decreased compared to the previous week, averaging 5 cubic meters per second during 23-31 July based on calculations from the University of Iceland, the Icelandic Institute of Natural History, and the National Land Survey of Iceland. ...
