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 1,200 quakes on average per year near Ruapehu volcano:
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 55.6 years)
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 0.46 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.2 years)
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 8.7 quakes per year
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 84 quakes per year (or 7 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 630 quakes per year (or 53 quakes per month)

Ruapehu volcano (New Zealand): heating episode at Crater Lake ended and switched to cooling phase

The Crater Lake temperature and earthquake plot at the volcano over time (image: GNS Science)
In mid-October 2023, the temperature of Te Wai ā-moe (Crater Lake) began to rise, reaching a peak of 31 ºC on 14 February 2024. Subsequently, the temperature started to decline, signaling the conclusion of the heating episode. Presently, the lake temperature stands at 24 ºC, with the estimated heat flow into the lake currently around 100 MW, indicative of a cooling phase. During the earlier stages of the heating episode, the calculated heat flow ranged between 200 and 300 MW. ... Read all
