they happen a lot and a lot of the eruptions come from the same place. i see Baja California 2 or 3 times a day.

Mauricio,Courtney said...

WOW really?? I mean I realized it was a lot but, im surprised...
I think that it must be hard for some people, who have bigger earthquakes.

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ David Wow, 2 or 3 times? That would stink to have earthquakes ALL THE TIME!!!!! Dont cha think???

i did not realize there were that many earthquakes thats tons !
my thoughts are how coukd that many happen? i mean earthquakes would end up running into eachother then making a bigger earthquake !@

Lamping Ally said...

Wow I didnt know that many earthquakes happen. I notice that almost all them happened some place other than the United States.

@david reddington
i did not realize some come from the same place ! thats wierd,...

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

They always happen. I didnt really know there was that many in like 7 days thts alot of earthquakes.

Peters,Jennifer said...

Wow they happen a lot more often then I thought. I can't believe all these earthquakes happen so many times, but I guess they do considering we have records. I think that this is kind of weird, but interesting at the same time. How come we don't have this many that we can feel at least a little bit?

Savard, Samantha said...

@Courtney
I totally agree that the people that go through this, it just must be super hard.

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

@courtney I KNOW there is soo many its kinda scary you dont really know how many there are but now we no tht there is alot

Peters,Jennifer said...

@Courtney
Me neither! I would hate to live where they have all the earthquakes, especially if they got a big one! I wonder what would happen to them! I would feel so bd though.

Greve, Julia said...

iknew that a lot of earth quakes occoured, but i had no idea that there were this many.

Tedesco.Jake said...

Wow I didnt know that many earthquakes happen.I guess I never really thought about that many earthquakes around the world that we never hear about.

Henry Minning said...

They happen a lot. It seems like they happen in the same general area and in the same places.

Henry Minning said...

@ David Reddington
I also saw the Baja, Calafornia a couple times too.

Riley, Olivia said...

i knew that there were alot of earthquakes each day, all it is mainly is the shifting of earths plates due to the moveing of the magma below the earths crust, it occurs all day everyday in small proportions, some no one even notices.

Tchase said...

Wow thats so bad. I had no idea so msny earthquakes happened! Like, i feel bad for people who go through that.I knew earthquakes occured, but i didnt knoe they happened that often.

waters,gabrielle said...

Wow thats alot of earthquakes. More earthquakes happen in week then i thought would happen in a month. What causes earthquakes? Can you ever stop a earthquake? proble not. My thoughts are that we should just ignor the earthquakes because if there not high in danger so the do not mader.

I didn't realize this many earthquakes occured around the world on a daily basis? We often don't hear about these. My thoughts are how could that many happen? Don't you think earth would fall apart?
I notice that almost all them happened some place other than the United States.

bekah said...

Thats alot of earthquakes. alot of them come from the same place. how could more than one happen in the same place within minutes? thats crazy how many there are a day.

Smith,Courtney said...

I can't believe how many earthquakes there really are worldwide that we just don't here about. i think that this is interesting to know because you not always know how many earthquake there are in a week. that's just wierd.

Smith,Courtney said...

@ jennifer peters im wondering the same thing is there earthquakes going on that we could possibly feel but dont?? i dont know but i hope you have the answer.

hutson,cody said...

hutson,cody said...

Jenkins,Tom said...

it is intersting because only ones that are above 6.0 and have caused major damage end up on air.

Thorp,Jayden said...

wow that is so cool that a volcano can eroupted more than once a day once a year i mean that is just really interesting

georgantonis,pete said...

they happen alot some places get earthquakes about 2 times a day

cirkovic, daniel said...

Wow! I didn't know this many Earthquakes appeared in a week. Thats crazy. I thought there were barely any earthquakes ever. THis changed my opinion.

rentz,monica said...

Wow 2 or 3 times is alot. I think that it would be hard for people to live in places with big earthguakes.

Thorp,Jayden said...

I kind of knew that there were a lot of earthquakes everyday but i didnt know that that a volcano can erupt more than once a day.

georgantonis,pete said...

@ david that would stink for the people that get earth quakes 2 times a day

rentz,monica said...

@ courtney

I was surpised of how many earthguakes some places have.

cirkovic, daniel said...

@ReddingtonDavid

Yeah me too. I heard that California get a lot of earthquakes. I wonder why? Must be something to do with the plates position.

Thorp,Jayden said...

@courtney m
yes i think that is one of the peoples biggest conserns there i wonder how do they do safty things in the school.

Calderon, Heidi said...

No i actually never really realized.
I actually think that it must be hard for people that are in other countries and states because the earthquakes are actually someimes very much worse in other places and like where we live their not really that big.
But in California their are so many of them and they are really big terrible ones.

Dupont, Noah said...

I scrolled down just to see how many, and I was surprised! I won't count, but there are ALOT of them! Most are clustered when they're in the same place, such as Vanuatu.
Just think about it, living in that place, having ALOT of earthquakes you would needed many things bolted down!

Reis, Elizabeth said...

I didn't think that many earthquakes happened. But I remember last year Mr. Harvey had a gadget that showed where earthquakes hit within the past 24 hours and I remember I didn't expect any to be on there but there were some.

Schwab,Izzy said...

i actually new that alot of earthquakes but not that many i had no clue mexico gaot that many. i did know that california had alot though.

dacoda said...

they may happen alot in baja california. maybe there is somthing under the ground there that we dont know about
:(

Anonymous said...

Wow! That many earthquakes! That just amazed me. I thought that earthquakes only happen in more like eruope and asia; i was right. i hope that there is not goi9ng to be an earthquake anytime soon here in the US! i also ask myself how does a earthquake really start? i have to get to the bottom of this!

Anonymous said...

@David WOW! Really that much! I didn't really know that until now! I think it would be rough for people that live close to earthquakes. Think everyday, an earthquake! Hot lava rushing and houses being crumbled down into really no house!!

Greve, Julia said...

@ olivia
i had no idea how many shifts took place in the earths crust

Taylor's blog spot said...

omg wow thats alot of volcanoes erupting, i didnt know that many even can erupt in such a small period of time, i kinda wonder what it does to the earth.

Luke said...

that is amazing! I saw earthquakes that occurred (almost) at the magnitude of Haiti and chile (almost) daily.

Luke said...

@ RED, dude, its BAHA not BAJA. But thats pretty wierd. i guess if the plates were moving 24/7, they would collide one time or another, but 7-8 times in one day (Iran) thats crazy!

Bader, Lucas said...

they happen a lot and a lot of stuf have bean happend.

Joseph Pegg said...

The magnitude for JAN MAYEN ISLAND REGION is strong it's 6.1. The magnitude for is strong too it's 6.0. They have earthquakes that are worse.
