Geography

The correct answer is - The coast of Mexico is on the edge of two tectonic plates, which results in frequent earthquakes.

Mexico is situated on a location where the boundaries of few tectonic plates are, the big North American tectonic plate, the smaller Cocos tectonic plate, and the miniature Rivera tectonic plate, also in close proximity is the boundary of the Caribbean tectonic plate. All of this tectonic plates are moving, they collide and submerge, so there's constant activity, which contributes to frequent earthquakes along their borders since Mexico City is pretty close to this zones it feels the effects of the earthquakes very regularly, and also has once that are very close to the city itself because the crust is split in multiple mini plates where earthquakes very often occur as well.

Answer:

PUT THIS IN YOUR OWN WORDS SO YOU DON'T GET COPYRIGHTED

Mr/Mrs.logger, in this letter I would like to persuade you to stop cutting down trees.  It will help the economy, you can find a new job, and you will understand that being greedy is not okay.  Keep reading on to understand why.  Thank you!

Cutting down trees in this state is illegal.  I understand you are trying to help your family by making money.  But, there are many other ways to do so like, helping people build fences, go to a store and be a cashier, help people move things, etc.  Finding another job could help you put food on your family's table and not send you to jail.

If that didn't persuade you to look at the Amazon Rainforest for refrence, people took down those trees to help support their family but it only ended up destroying another family's home.  All of these creatures lost their homes that they had to keep their family safe, warm, alive.  But, all those loggers did was put these animals on the brink of extinction just to help their own families. And, the Amazon Rainforest is very important and needed in this world.  It is one of the many reasons that earth is habitable, it's water cycle's, the many tree's giving off Co2, it is also home to 30 million people!  and over 10% of the world's biodiversity!  That's a lot.  And, the tree's that you are cutting down could someday be a rainforest that will contain millions of people.  So really think about it, think about what you are doing to the world, think about how you can fix it.

So I hope that I was able to persuade you to learn to do something else that won't ruin or economy, I mean we all mess up with something that will make our Co2 footprint bigger but there are many ways to try and fix that like tyring to make a compost garden, plant a garden, do anything that will help your family and the animals/plants surrounding you.

densk [106]

El Niño is a natural event that periodically weakens the western surface of ocean currents in the equatorial pacific ocean. In an El Niño, the wind that pushes water around (which keeps the east warm and west cold) gets weaker making the ocean warmer, changing the air temperature and precipitation patterns in the United States.
