Abstract
In this paper an attempt has been made to study various trends regarding the frequencies of earthquakes that is occurring over the years. The study also tries to find answer to some queries related to the frequency of earthquakes - like are they uniformly distributed, or randomly or shows the existence of any serial correlation based on earthquakes that occurred globally. Similar study is made for earthquakes that occurred in the northeastern states of India, a region quite susceptible to earthquakes.
