Statistical analysis of Iran recorded Earthquake in the last decade

Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, renowned for its history of devastating earthquakes. Numerous active faults crisscross the nation, giving rise to frequent and sometimes catastrophic seismic events. In the last decade, Iran experienced ۲۰۳۱ earthquakes with magnitudes exceeding ۳.۵ on the Richter scale, ۱۰ of which registered ۵ or higher. Among these, the ۶.۴-magnitude earthquake in Bandar Abbas on November ۱۱, ۲۰۲۱, stands out as the largest earthquake of the year, that causing significant damage. An analysis of the data from in last decade reveals that the year was marked by an extraordinary number and magnitude of earthquakes across Iran, with a substantial release of seismic energy across the country's diverse regions. Statistical analysis of earthquakes holds immense importance as a crucial step towards better understanding Iran's seismically active zones and enhancing preparedness for these natural disasters. These statistics underscore that Iran remains at a serious seismic risk, necessitating the implementation of rigorous preventive measures and comprehensive planning to mitigate the hazards associated with this devastating phenomenon. By raising public awareness, strengthening building codes, and developing rapid earthquake warning systems, the destructive consequences of these natural disasters can be significantly reduced, safeguarding lives and property from the sudden tremors of the earth.
