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 1,000 quakes on average per year near Eyafjallajökull volcano:

Mag. 5 or higher: 0.03 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 38.5 years)
Mag. 4 or higher: 1.08 quakes per year
Mag. 3 or higher: 13.3 quakes per year
Mag. 2 or higher: 109 quakes per year (or 9.1 quakes per month)
Mag. 1 or higher: 462 quakes per year (or 38.5 quakes per month)

Eyafjallajökull Volcano Volcanic Ash Advisory: CONSIDERED IMMINENT OBS VA DTG: 10/0813Z

Wed, 27 Oct 2010, 06:00

Eyjafjallajokull volcano (Iceland) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 27 October-2 November 2010 (Continuing Activity)

According to a news article from 27 October, a scientist at the University of Iceland Institute of Earth Sciences noted that the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, that began as a fissure eruption on 20 March 2010 and later continued from the summit caldera on 14 April, was over. Ash was last seen rising from the caldera in June. ... Read all
