Earthquakes Increase

The amount of earthquakes has been increasing and decreasing but the amount of earthquakes worldwide this year ALONE has been 2080. Last year we ended with 14,788 earthquakes. In 2008 the amount of earthquakes was 31,777!
Yes the number of earthquakes increase and decrease but the amount of earthquakes seems to be increasing and we still have nine months left. Also the death toll this year (3 months) is almost the highest of every other year of the 2000's. The death toll is 222,531 this year and bound to increase where as last year was 1787.
