Cumulative number of earthquakes in the GCMT catalog since 1976

The figure shows the cumulative number of of earthquakes in the Global CMT catalog since 1976. The contribution of earthquakes greater than M=6.5 is is in yellow; the contribution of earthquakes 5.36 earthquakes were analyzed. Starting in 2004, earthquakes as small as M=5.0 are analyzed and included in the catalog.
