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.

Tectonic plates
What cities are on tectonic plate boundaries?
Some cities on tectonic plate boundaries include Tokyo, Japan (Pacific Plate), San Francisco, USA (Pacific Plate), Istanbul, Turkey (Anatolian Plate), and Mexico City, Mexico (North American Plate). These cities are at risk of earthquakes and other seismic activities due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.

How have tectonic plates influenced Mexico's geographic features?
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, the Mexican Altiplano (or Central Mexican Plateau) and the flat lands of the Yucatan Peninsula. Also, The Tropic of Cancer (23
How many tectonic plates are there under Delhi's surface?
There are three major tectonic plates that play a role in the geology of Delhi: the Indian Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Tibetan Plate. The collision and interactions between these plates contribute to the seismic activity in the region.
Where would you find the tectonic plates?
Anywhere under your feet.
