They having a sale on quakes in Chile? - KathyKeegan - 05-22-2015
To say nothing about the buy one, get one free sale in Turkey. Indonesia seems to be having a disco dance. The Solomons can't keep their feet in one place. China's east coast is jiving with Japan. Nepal just keeps plugging away at it. We got a wave from Greenland, too. Even England is trying to show us how it's done.

Quake happens.
Code:
On average, globally...
Magnitude Per year Once every...
8+ 1 year
7 - 7.9 15 24 days
6 - 6.9 134 3 days
5 - 5.9 1319 6-1/2 hours
4 - 4.9 13,000 40 minutes
3 - 3.9 130,000 4 minutes
2 - 2.9 1,300,000 30 secondsOf course, some regions have more quakes than others. Chile, being on a major subduction zone, is one of those places.
