The US Geological Survey has published statistics for the numbers of earthquake occurring from the beginning of 1990 to the end of 2009. As such there have been a little over 58,000 earthquake recorded in the US (from very small to very large).

This means that on average there are around 3050 earthquake per year in the US although the vast majority of them are very small.

No one knows because it just depends on how bad or strong the earthquake happens. So my point is that we can't tell on how much people can die in a earthquake. So it just depends on how bad it is.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center records statistics for earthquakes in the US and worldwide. Between 2000 and 2011 the average number of earthquakes in the US was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher.

Many more earthquakes occur in the US per year but most are smaller than magnitude 2 and go unnoticed.
