The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
The San Andreas Fault is responsible for thousands of earthquakes each year, though the vast majority are too small to be felt by people. Major earthquakes along the fault occur less frequently, with significant events happening every few decades.
Most earthquakes that occur each year are too small to be felt by humans. Only a small percentage of earthquakes, typically those with a magnitude of 2.0 or higher, are felt by people.
On average, there are about 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year, with about 100,000 of those able to be felt. In the United States specifically, there are usually around 20,000 to 30,000 earthquakes each year, most of them small.
It is almost impossible to know because there are earthquakes of different sizes all over the world. It is said that there are earthquakes happening every where every day. Most are so small they did not register on the Richter Scale and many that do are so small they are not worth mentioning as no one notices or feels them. The only ones that get mentioned and recorded with geological survey centers are the ones that register or are significant enough to be felt or have an effect on anything.
Thousands occur every year, most of which are too small to notice.
On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes every year.The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year but many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.

On average, there are about 15,000 to 20,000 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or higher each year worldwide. Strong earthquakes, typically those above magnitude 7.0, occur less frequently, with around 100 to 150 per year.
It is not fixed.
more than a thousand each year
Between 3000-4000
It is impossible to tell. 2010 was a year of numerous large earthquakes around the globe. However, many smaller earthquakes occurred and many more that were too weak to be measured. It is estimated that millions of earthquakes occur each year.
Istaanbul. you'll be surprised to see how many earthquakes hit there every year.....*ohh*
