Prophecy and Earthquakes

To be fair, you will see several large earthquakes every year. So to see whether we are having a lot of earthquakes or not, we have to compare it to a normal earthquake year. I am only going to count earthquakes with the magnitude of 6 or above. One could argue that we're having more small earthquakes because detection equipment is better.

Average 8 and above - 1 per year
Average 7 to 7.9 - 15 per year
Average 6 to 6.9 - 134 per year

Today, I just happened to be looking up the dates of the top 10 largest earthquakes in the world since 1900. I noticed that four of them have occurred since 2004. While some scientists are trying to make you believe that the number of earthquakes is the same, my evidence of big earthquakes shows otherwise. Then, if you take into consideration that out of the top 10 largest earthquakes in the last 110 years, 40% of them have occurred in the past 7 years, I think that's pretty significant. You can't just say that we're recording more earthquakes, since I'm only talking about the biggest quakes on the planet.

There have been 8s on the Richter scale throughout time, but these "super-quakes", the top 10 in the last 110 years, are all 8.7 or larger. Many of the 8s that we experience are 8.5 or lower, and that's only at an average of 1 per year.

As of October 23, 2011, these are the number of earthquakes that we have had:

Magnitude 8+ - 1
Magnitude 7 to 7.9 - 17
Magnitude 6 to 6.9 - 164
If we were continue to have the same frequency of earthquakes for the remainder of 2011, we would have earthquakes of:

Magnitude 8 - 1
Magnitude 7 to 7.9 - 21
Magnitude 6 to 6.9 - 202

This is above average in all categories. I also did the calculation for magnitude 5 to 5.9 earthquakes; it is already more than 50% above the yearly average.

(Calculations were based on the fact that we are 97/365ths of the way through the year as of this day. Earthquakes * (365/296) = Year's Earthquake trend.)

Here are the significant magnitude 6.5 and above earthquakes in 2011:

The US Geological Survey estimates 28,558 deaths from earthquakes so far this year. Prior to the Japanese quake in March, that number was a lot lower than normal. As a result of the Japanese 9.0 quake, we are fairly close to the average number of quake deaths in a year, and it's only April.

Because of the nuclear problem in Japan, the death toll could go higher just from the Japanese quake. The average number of deaths per year from earthquakes is 30,824.

This year, the world has experienced several very large earthquakes. These are the magnitude 6.6 and above earthquakes this year:

This is the final earthquake count for large earthquakes in 2010:

Magnitude 8 and above - 1
Magnitude 7 to 7.9 - 21
Magnitude 6 to 6.9 - 151

During 2010, we equaled the average of magnitude 8 quakes, had more than average magnitude 7 quakes, had more than average 6 earthquakes, and had more than average magnitude 5 quakes.

In 2010, an estimated 226.729 people have died from earthquakes.

Since 1990, an average of 30,824 deaths per year (not counting 2010). In 2010, we had more than 7 times the average number of deaths from earthquakes. Many of the deaths came from the Haitian quake.
