Because of its location in the Pacific ring of fire, Mexico is one of the nations in the region that frequently experiences seismic activity. This is because the Pacific ring of fire is one of the regions with the highest levels of tectonic activity.
The National Seismological Service has registered 2,335 earthquakes with epicenters on Mexican territory in the previous month alone, and just last Sunday, a powerful 3.9 earthquake was reported near Manzanillo de Colima.
The Aztec territory has a warning system that can detect earthquakes using 97 sensors spread out along the Pacific coast and south of the volcanic axis that runs through Guerrero and Puebla.

Why does Mexico experience such a high frequency of earthquakes?
The seismic zones of Mexico are located within the penisismic and aseismic zones, as shown by the country’s three different regions. The tectonic plates that cover territories such as Chiapas, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Michoacán, Colima, Jalisco, southern Veracruz, Tlaxcala, Morelos, Puebla, Nuevo León, Sonora, Baja California, and the State from Mexico are the source of the seismic activity. This activity is caused by the shock and friction of the tectonic plates.
