From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earthquakes in 2010 resulted in nearly 321,000 fatalities. Most of these were due to the 2010 Haiti earthquake , which caused an estimated 160,000 deaths,[ 2] making it the 11th deadliest earthquake in recorded history . Other deadly quakes occurred in China , Indonesia or Turkey . The 2010 Chile earthquake registered 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale ,[ 3] ranking it as the 6th strongest earthquake since 1900. The tsunami associated with the Chile earthquake caused tsunami advisories and warning across the entire Ocean rim, also known as the Ring of Fire .

Note that an increase in detected earthquake numbers does not necessarily represent an increase in earthquakes per se. Population increase, habitation spread, and advances in earthquake detection technology all contribute to higher earthquake numbers being recorded over time. USGS's Website has more information.
