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 984 quakes on average per year near Maunaloa volcano:

Mag. 6 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)
Mag. 5 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 10.2 years)
Mag. 4 or higher: 1.13 quakes per year
Mag. 3 or higher: 22.8 quakes per year
Mag. 2 or higher: 375 quakes per year (or 31.2 quakes per month)
Mag. 1 or higher: 834 quakes per year (or 69 quakes per month)

Mauna Loa volcano (Hawaiian Islands, USA) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 15 March-21 March 2023 (Continuing Activity)

HVO reported that Mauna Loa had been quiet since the eruption ended on 13 December 2022 and the number of earthquakes beneath the summit had returned to background levels. Inflation continued as magma replenished the summit reservoir. On 16 March HVO lowered the Volcano Alert Level to Normal (the lowest level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code to Green (the lowest level on a four-color scale). ... Read all
