Look up quakes! |
Japan has a very high level of seismic activity. Based on data from the past 14 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 5,200 quakes on average per year in Japan. Japan has had at least 10 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.
On average, Japan has about 2,600 quakes of magnitude 3 or higher per year (Mag 4+: 1,000 quakes per year, Mag 5+: 178 quakes per year, Mag 6+: 10.5 quakes per year).
