It has had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 40 to 45 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeLat / Lng: 4.7 / 125.21: Indonesia: 082 km S 16° W of Balut Island (Municipality of Sarangani) (Davao Occidental)Lat / Lng: 4.7 / 125.21: Indonesia: 082 km S 16° W of Balut Island (Municipality of Sarangani) (Davao Occidental)
