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 166 quakes on average per year near Taal volcano:

Mag. 7 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 17.9 years)
Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 17.9 years)
Mag. 5 or higher: 0.3 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.4 years)
Mag. 4 or higher: 3 quakes per year
Mag. 3 or higher: 32.4 quakes per year (or 2.7 quakes per month)
Mag. 2 or higher: 114 quakes per year (or 9.5 quakes per month)
Mag. 1 or higher: 165 quakes per year (or 13.7 quakes per month)

Taal volcano (Luzon, Philippines) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 10 April-16 April 2024 (New Activity / Unrest)

PHIVOLCS reported that a phreatic eruption at Taal was recorded during 0511-0524 on 12 April based on seismic data, infrasound data, and visual observations. A steam plume rose 2.4 km and drifted SW. Four phreatic eruptions recorded during 0945-1522 produced steam plumes that rose 100-300 m. ... Read all

Taal volcano (Luzon, Philippines) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 27 March-2 April 2024 (Continuing Activity)

In a special report issued for Taal, PHIVOLCS noted that sulfur dioxide emissions were 18,638 tonnes per day (t/d) on 28 March, the highest value recorded during 2024. Sulfur dioxide emissions have been continuously released since 2021 and averaged 10,331 t/d during 2024. Seismicity has remained at baseline levels with only three volcanic earthquakes recorded in February. ... Read all
