Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexico is one of the most geologically active regions of Earth. This has resulted in a varied topography, which includes the three Sierra Madre mountain ranges and the Mexican Altiplano; it also has resulted in over 3000 volcanoes, from which 32 have a high probability of becoming active again and 11 are still active, but don't represent a direct threat to the population (yet).
