Why does Mexico experience many earthquakes?

Answer 1

Because it is included to "Pacific Belt" that belongs to "Ring of Fire or Earthquakes Belt", it so because it is lying near the Pacific Ocean. Other countries also included in "Pacific Belt" are Japan, Taiwan, California.

The three kinds of Earthquakes Belt:

1. Pacific Belt- Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, California and other countries lying near the Pacific Ocean.

2. Mediterranean Belt of Fire- from China to Mediterranean areas of Africa and Europe.

3. The third is the long ridge that lies under the Atlantic ocean.

Answer 2

Mexico is located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos plates), which have resulted in a vigorous volcanic and seismic activity. Actually, the central plateau is the result of this activity, hence it is continuously affected by earthquakes, and from time to time, volcanoes.

Answer 3

Mexico is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates meet, leading to frequent seismic activity. The subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate in the region results in the formation of earthquake-prone zones. Additionally, Mexico City sits on soft soil, amplifying the effects of seismic waves and contributing to the high impact of earthquakes in the region.
