More Earthquake Tidbits
Each year the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. Most of them are so small that they are not felt. Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15-20 are greater than magnitude 4.0. If there is a large earthquake, however, the aftershock sequence will produce many more earthquakes of all magnitudes for many months
Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state and experiences a magnitude-seven earthquake almost every year, and a magnitude eight or greater on average every 14 years.
