This is a list of earthquakes in 1973. 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.
On 30 November 1973, at 07:48 UTC (02:48 EST), a M w 4.7 earthquake struck 1 km (0.62 mi) north-east of Alcoa, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. [1] The earthquake was felt 2,100 km 2 (810 sq mi) in the area. [2] It was the most powerful known earthquake generated by the Eastern Tennessee seismic zone.

Moderately damaging earthquakes strike between New York and Wilmington, Delaware, about twice a century, the USGS said, and smaller earthquakes are felt in the region roughly every two to three years.
Therefore, the 1973 event was a much smaller event than in 1894. An 80 km-long section in the subduction zone between the 1973 and 1952 rupture zones still exist, with the possibility of generating a large earthquake. [13] Focal mechanism analysis revealed that this earthquake was the result of thrust faulting along the subduction plate boundary.
