Yet another mega quake

What the hell is going on?

Yes... but the number of 7.0+ earth quakes has risen dramatically in the past 10 years.  Can anybody explain why?

End of days, obv.

Since 1990, globally I found the amount of earthquakes 8.0+ and 7.0-7.9

For the 1990s
Average 8.0+: 0.6 earthquakes per year
Average 7.0-7.9: 14.7 earthquakes per year
Max: 20 in 1995
Min: 12 (in 1993 and 1998)
Total 7.0+: 153 earthquakes per decade

For the 2000s
Average 8.0+: 1.4 earthquakes per year
Average 7.0-7.9: 10.9 earthquakes per year
Max: 18 in 2007
Min: 11 (in both 2005 and 2006)
Total 7.0+: 142 earthquakes per decade

2010 thus far
8.0+: 1
7.0-7.9: 4

Now per year since 1990.
