Earthquake statistics

Average number of earthquakes

Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 3,200 quakes on average per year in or near Japan Sea:
  • Mag. 8 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)
  • Mag. 7 or higher: 0.34 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.9 years)
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 3.2 quakes per year
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 59 quakes per year (or 4.9 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 371 quakes per year (or 30.9 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 1,400 quakes per year (or 3.7 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 3,200 quakes per year (or 8.7 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 6,400 quakes per year (or 17.6 quakes per day)
Japan Sea has a high level of seismic activity. Japan Sea has had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 40 to 45 years.
