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 227 quakes on average per year near Irazu volcano:
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 0.23 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 4.3 years)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 2.4 quakes per year
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 66 quakes per year (or 5.5 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 224 quakes per year (or 18.7 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 225 quakes per year (or 18.8 quakes per month)

Irazu volcano (Costa Rica) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 26 August-1 September 2020 (Continuing Activity)

OVSICORI-UNA reported that Irazú's seismic network recorded land movement 1.2 km SW of the SW crater rim in a high area used for radio and television antennas. Landslides in the area had been observed since 2014, but activity accelerated in the previous months. The number of events indicating landslides began to exponentially increase particularly after 20 August. ... Read all
