List of seismic fault (and systems, zones) in Mexico.
Figure 1 shows Mexico and the neighboring ocean floor. The two tectonic plates meet off the southern shore of Mexico, forming a deep underwater trench parallel to the shoreline (dark blue line). This area is called the Middle American Subduction Zone.
The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Global Seismic Hazard Map (version 2018.1) depicts the geographic distribution of the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, computed for reference rock conditions (shear wave velocity, VS30, of 760-800 m/s).
Mexico's seismic map divides the country into four seismic zones, with Zone D being the most active and dangerous (Saldaña-Zorrilla 2007). The study area falls under Zone D.
Minimization of the loss of life, property damage, and social and economic disruption due to earthquakes depends on reliable estimates of seismic hazard. We have produced a suite of seismic hazard estimates for Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
9 de sept. de 2021 · A 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck southern Mexico this week originated near a section of a fault that experts worry has been building up tension for more than a century. The powerful...
