Earthquakes are not that rare, really.

Here is a live map: http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/ Though I'm not sure how accurate it is, it only shows two earthquakes in Iceland in the last two days for example.

And this page shows some estimates for number of earthquakes of a certain magnitude per year: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/eqsta...

Magnitude 6-6.9 earthquakes occur about 130 times per year.
