Earthquakes are more frequent now than in the past.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that earthquakes are more frequent now than in the past?

Partly. Some sources assert that earthquakes have become more frequent worldwide in recent years, while older references caution that apparent increases reflect better recording or suggest past quakes were more frequent. None provides a rigorous past-versus-present comparison, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
