In Millennium We inform you about the most recent telluric movements registered in Mexico by the National Seismological Service (SSN)the dependency responsible for seismic monitoring of the country. We tell you how many times he trembled, where, at what time, his magnitude and the epicenter of each of them.
Where did he tremble in Mexico today?
So far the National Seismological Service has registered telluric movements in Mexico: Chiapas.
What are the areas with the greatest seismic activity and why does it tremble so much in Mexico?
The most active seismic region in the country with a statistical base is the geographical area covered by Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, State of Mexico, Veracruz and Mexico City.
One of the reasons why it trembles so much in Mexico is because the Mexican territory is on 5 tectonic plates: Caribbean, Pacific, North America, Rivera and Cocos. when interaction between the plates or when one under another is slid, the energy that causes telluric movements is released.
The other reasons are geological failures such as those caused by mycrosism in Mexico City and volcanic activity.

Why does the seismic alert always sound when it trembles?
He Mexican seismic alert system (SASMEX) It has 96 sensors located on the Pacific coast from Puerto Vallarta to Oaxaca and in the south of the Neovolcanic axis in Guerrero and Puebla.
The sensors are used to alert the population of Mexico City, Puebla, Acapulco, Chilpancingo, Morelia, Oaxaca, Toluca, Cuernavaca and Colima.
The seismic alert It may not sound for the following reasons:
- The earthquake occurs far from the coverage zone
- Is far from the city to alert
- When the energy released by the earthquake does not exceed the established levels
- Technical or electrical failures in the alert and speakers system
How to activate the seismic alert system on my cell phone?

- Select “Security and Emergency” or “Location”.
- Activate the option “earthquake alerts or earthquakes”.
From iPhone
