This is a list of earthquakes in 2002. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS. Like previous years, seismic activity was relatively moderate in the year 2002, being the first year since 1999 with no magnitude 8.0+ earthquakes. Up to 2,700 people died in earthquakes throughout 2002, most of them due to three relatively moderate but heavily-damaging events in northeastern Afghanistan. The largest earthquake of the year measured M_w  7.9 and struck near Denali in Alaska, making it the most powerful earthquake to strike the United States since 1986, and the largest Alaskan earthquake to occur inland. Other notable events also struck Iran, Turkey, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Italy and the Philippines.

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. USGS's Website has more information.
