A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
The map and accompanying study offer precise information about the regions most at risk of earthquakes, and which types of quakes are likely to occur. The scientists also learned more about places ...

The United States typically has around 63 earthquakes between magnitude 5.0 and 5.9 each year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, about five between 6.0 and 6.9 and fewer than one between 7. ...
The Oklahoma earthquake swarms are an ongoing series of human activity-induced earthquakes affecting central Oklahoma, southern Kansas, northern Texas since 2009. [6] [7] [8] Beginning in 2009, the frequency of earthquakes in the U.S. state of Oklahoma rapidly increased from an average of fewer than two 3.0+ magnitude earthquakes per year since 1978 [9] to hundreds each year in the 2014–17 ...
Any quake less than 5.5 magnitude is not likely to cause significant damage, the school said. It had been typical for South Carolina to have between six and 10 earthquakes a year, the S.C ...
