This is a list of earthquakes in 1907. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes appear on the list. Lower magnitude events are included if they have caused death, injury or damage. 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. A fairly active year with 17 magnitude 7.0+ events.
Tajikistan had 12,000 deaths from an event in October. 2,188 deaths[1] occurred in Indonesia in January and
Jamaica suffered from another January event which caused 1,000 deaths.
The
1907 Kingston earthquake left at least 1,000 people killed. Major property damage was caused. Costs were around $30 million (1907 rate). Depth unknown.
