As Nov 27, 2012 there were 16,667 recorded earthquakes in 2012 worldwide and 3,836 in the United States according to the USGS National Earthquake Center.
However, the USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year and go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes so the actual number would be much larger.
