Why is Mexico shaking? Seismic and volcanic activity are unique characteristics of Mexico. Located on the Ring of Fire, the country sees the highest number of earthquakes globally due to plate tectonics.
Although the interaction between tectonic plates is the main cause of earthquakes, it is not the only one. Any process that concentrates large amounts of energy in rocks can induce telluric movements, the magnitude of which depends on several factors, including the size of the stress concentration zone.
