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 seconds

Of course, some regions have more quakes than others. Chile, being on a major subduction zone, is one of those places.
