According to statistics, about occurred on Earth more than 500 million times per year earthquake that happened thousands of times a day to earthquakes. Most of them are too small or too far away so that people feel; really can cause serious harm to humans there are about twenty times the earthquake; can cause particularly severe earthquake disaster about once or twice. People do not feel the earthquake, we must use seismographs to record; different types of seismometers can record different intensity, different distance of the earthquake. World running with thousands of various seismic monitoring instruments night earthquakes trends.
Both from the point of view of seismic frequency or intensity of an earthquake, you can say that now the world has entered an earthquake-prone period.
"I feel a strong earthquake in recent years, like a lot, it is able to come into the world's earthquake-prone period of conclusion?" Said Tony.
According to the data show that the global seismic activity to December 26, 2004 9.0 earthquake in Sumatra as a symbol, entered a period of high seismic activity of eight, so far a total of more than 8 earthquake occurred 15 times, nine times more than the earthquake 2, presents a similar state before the 20th century the world's eight major earthquake-prone, and this trend is likely to continue.
According to statistics, during 1900-1964, the global total of more than 8.5 earthquake occurred 7 times; to 2004, the world is no more than 8.5 earthquakes occurred after the 1964 earthquake in Alaska; from 2004 to 2010, just six years Indonesia's happened twice respectively 8.7 and magnitude 8.5 earthquake in Chile 8.8 earthquake and a total of three times more than 8.5 earthquakes.
The frequency of seismic activity is a certain level of periodic law, the data between the various stages of a comprehensive centuries, both from the point of view of seismic frequency or intensity of an earthquake, you can say that now the world has entered an earthquake-prone period.
