Mexico is atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates) which are part of the so-called Ring of Fire. The Rivera Plate could also be considered as part of these, but it only touches a small portion of the sea floor in front of the Mexican Pacific, not touching the actual mainland. It is located precisely, on the subduction zone between the North America, Pacific and Cocos Plates.

Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexico is one of the most geologically active regions of Earth.
