List of earthquakes in 2017

Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in damage and/or casualties, or are notable for some other reason.

All dates are listed according to UTC time.

Maximum intensities are indicated on the Mercalli intensity scale and are sourced from United States Geological Survey (USGS) ShakeMap data.

An increase in detected earthquake numbers does not necessarily represent an increase in earthquakes per se.

Population increase, habitation spread, and advances in earthquake detection technology all contribute to higher earthquake numbers being recorded over time.
