Events which occurred 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. Many earthquakes caused deaths and destruction of property. Italy and Iran bore the brunt of the casualties. Several events occurred in Burma, Japan, China and Tajikistan among others.
