Why is Mexico shaking and which states are at high seismic risk?
Due to the interaction of the Cocos and North American tectonic plates, Mexico is one of the countries with great seismic intensity. Subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate creates an area of intense seismic activity, releasing energy in the form of tremors. Mexican states are at high risk of severe earthquakes.
