Average

A total of 225 earthquakes with a magnitude of four or above have struck within 300 km (186 mi) of Cuba in the past 10 years. This comes down to a yearly average of 22 earthquakes per year, or 1 per month. On average an earthquake will hit near Cuba roughly every 16 days.

A relatively large number of earthquakes occurred near Cuba in 2021. A total of 84 earthquakes (mag 4+) were detected within 300 km of Cuba that year. The strongest had a 7.2 magnitude, and Jan 28 2020 magnitude 7.7.

As a reminder, while each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the measured amplitude, it represents a 32 times more energy release.
