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 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 9,900 quakes on average per year near Kilauea volcano:
  • Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 15.6 years)
  • Mag. 5 or higher: 4 quakes per year
  • Mag. 4 or higher: 15.3 quakes per year
  • Mag. 3 or higher: 496 quakes per year (or 41 quakes per month)
  • Mag. 2 or higher: 6,500 quakes per year (or 17.7 quakes per day)
  • Mag. 1 or higher: 9,600 quakes per year (or 26.2 quakes per day)

Kilauea (United States) volcano () - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 24 July-30 July 2024 (New Activity / Unrest)

HVO reported that localized earthquake and ground deformation rates in around Kilauea's upper East Rift Zone significantly increased twice during 22-23 July. The Volcano Alert Level was raised to Watch (the third level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code was raised to Orange (the third color on a four-color scale) at 0406 in response to the increases, and then lowered back to Advisory and Yellow, respectively, at 0904 because of a significant decrease in the activity; seismicity and ground deformation rates remain elevated but at a lower intensity. Pulses of increased seismicity were detected during 24-25 July; over 500 earthquakes were recorded, including 12 events with magnitudes greater than 3. ... Read all
