List of earthquakes in 2011


This is a list of earthquakes in 2011. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in damage and/or casualties, or are notable for some other reason. Smaller events in remote areas will be excluded from the list as they wouldn't have generated significant media interest. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The 2011 Tōhoku [earthquake and tsunami|9.1 Tōhoku earthquake] was the fourth most powerful ever recorded and triggered a massive tsunami. In a very seismically active year, many earthquakes caused damage in Turkey, New Zealand, Myanmar, India and United States.
