   This fact sheet illustrates information on the frequency of earthquakes of various magnitudes, along with details on the effects of earthquakes and the equivalent energy release. On average, Magnitude 2 and smaller earthquakes occur several hundred times a day world wide. Major earthquakes, greater than magnitude 7, happen more than once per month.

   Could a big quake happen in the next 30 years?

   • Meaning the Big One could happen any day now or not in the lifetime of many middle-aged residents. Scientists who developed  the HayWired modeling scenario estimate that there’s about a one-in-three chance of a magnitude-7 quake on the Hayward within the next 30 years.
