Question

Explain why earthquakes are so common in México. Write your answer in English.

Answer 1

Mexico sits atop of three earths largest tectonic plates and when these chuncks of crust grind against each other earthquakes happen

Answer 2

Earthquakes are common in Mexico because of most of the land mass being on the North American plate and the Ocean floor being on the Coscos plate and so when the more dense ocean floor plate goes up and hits the North American plate it goes up under the more finer granite part of the North American plate and if you were to push something heavy across the table you'll notice it kinda creates a shaking this is what's happening under the plates.
