Recently, earthquakes have occurred in many areas of the world, such as Mexico , the United States, Iceland, Japan, and China. The intensity magnitude of the earthquake is about 0-8. According to the latest forecast of of China's earthquake station, an earthquake of about 6.1 occurred near the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico at 18:38 on September 23. The epicenter was located at 15.51 degrees north latitude and 94.26 degrees west longitude. As of the few days, a series of strong earthquakes of magnitude 8.1, 7.1 and 6.1 have occurred in Mexico, although most earthquakes are in offshore areas. So why do earthquakes occur frequently in Mexico?
Scientists: The reason why Mexico has frequent earthquakes comes from its location. It is located at the junction of the Pacific Plate and the American Plate, thus forming a frequent earthquake area. According to statistics, Mexico is the country with the most frequent earthquakes in the world. For Mexicans, the September they face is not colorful, but darkness and despair.
We know that the continents of the plates are crowded together. When subjected to violent movement within the core, the plates will rub and slide. For people in the plains, this is not a threat, but for countries at the junction of the plates, you must be careful everywhere, because the earth will inadvertently get angry. For example, the famous earthquake in history.
The cause of the earthquake is still a mystery. We only know that it comes from the energy transmitted inside the earth core, but why does the earth core frequently release energy? Scientists believe this is closely related to solar activity. When the solar activity is too fierce, great changes will occur on the earth. For example, our sun has recently seen the most powerful sunspots and flares in history, and in recent days, the sun has been at its peak of activeness. So is this earthquake related to the sun?
