Earthquake data is collected by seismographs worldwide and compiled by organizations like the USGS. Magnitude, location, depth, and time are recorded for each seismic event.

How often do earthquakes occur in this region?

Earthquake frequency varies greatly by location. Regions near tectonic plate boundaries experience far more seismic activity than those in stable continental interiors.
