The number of magnitude 5.0 to 6.9 worldwide earthquakes are showing a significant increase so far this year during 2010, and are up 151 percent compared with the same range and time span of earthquakes since the year 1900, as of this independent analysis, 25-May-2010.
The number of magnitude 7.0 to 8.9 worldwide earthquakes appear to be on track, or slightly increased from historical averages.
(Magnitude 4.9 or less was not analyzed because they generally cause little or no damage)
The data used in this analysis has been collected from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) going back to to the year 1900.
I have averaged the number of earthquakes since 1900 in each magnitude range, and have also averaged the same data over the last 10 years. I then compared this data with the current earthquake statistics so far in 2010.
