list2env returns data frames to the global environment whose names are the names in the list. An alternative, if you want to have the same name for the data frames but identified by i from a loop:
for (i in 1:length(eqRegions)) {
assign(paste0("eqRegions", i), as.data.frame(eqRegions[[i]]))
}
This can be slow if the length if the list gets too long.
