Question: Are earthquakes happening all the time?

Christina Pagel answered on 28 Jun 2013:

yes they are! but the smallest ones are not detectable by humans (but they are by sensitive scientific instruments called seismographs)… There are about 6000 moderate or bigger earthquakes a year in the world and hundreds of thousands of smaller ones…

The continental plates are always moving and grinding against each other and so i think there will always be earthquakes… at least until the continental plates stop moving which according to geologists they might in a billion years or so!
