- "Peru Earthquake in Context
Yesterday's magnitude-8.0 earthquake in Peru is the third earthquake this year of that size. On average, the Earth produces about one magnitude-8 or larger earthquake per year, and about 15 to 20 magnitude-7 earthquakes per year. A 1.0 increase in magnitude means ground motions are expected to be 30 times more intense and the shaking lasts substantially longer. Coastal Peru has a history of very large earthquakes. The Aug. 15 shock originated near the source of two earthquakes, both in the magnitude-8 range, that occurred in 1974 and 1908. The USGS locates about 50 earthquakes each day, or about 20,000 a year.
