Nearly 2,000% increase in major quakes since 1900

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
(Matthew 24)










According to USGS, 3 major earthquakes (M>6.0) occurred in 1900 around the world.

One hundred years later, in 2000, USGS recorded 160. This is more than 150 major quakes than in 1900.

Between 1900 to 1918, USGS recorded 147 major quakes. This is 13 less jolts than the 160 recorded in 2000.

Between 2000 to 2018, the USGS has already recorded 2,911 major quakes so far. This is an incredible 2,764 more tremors than between 1900 to 1918. And you can’t even load the map on the USGS website!


Between 1900 to 1918, the yearly average number of major quakes was 12. Since 2000, this number has risen to 243 / year.
I mean, of course we know more precisely where seismic fault lines are situated, better understand how strains and pressure are released and we have placed more seismographs around the world … But all of this cannot explain this nearly 2,000% increase in major quakes since 1900!
