This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. The reason given is: This article needs to list more earthquakes from July to December 2000. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(September 2022)
This is a list of earthquakes in 2000. 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.
Note that 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.
