Graph showing the annual average number of worldwide earthquakes of each magnitude calculated over the last 20 years. This shows how earthquake numbers decrease as magnitude increases. For example: there are roughly ten times as many earthquakes of magnitude 6 than magnitude 7.CLICK TO ENLARGE.n average there are about 15 earthquakes every year with a magnitude of 7 or greater. As with any almost random phenomena, the number of earthquakes each year varies slightly from this average, but in general, there are no dramatic variations.
A major quake will reach something like 8.0 on the Richter scale and is likely to cause widespread damage and casualties. You figure out the magnitude of an earthquake on the Richter scale by measuring the logarithm of how much the ground moves (in other words, the logarithm of the amplitude of the seismic waves).
