The second motive that the specialists of the UNAM explain is that one agrees Mexico on five tectonic plates, which are the rigid and mobile pieces that compose the surface of the terrestrial bark. According to a study of the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), which analyzed the earthquakes that happened in the country during the 20th century, there is known that: - every ear 100 or more earthquakes of magnitude produce to themselves in average 4.5 or higher; - every four years five earthquakes of magnitude take place 6.5 or higher; - and every ten years an earthquake of magnitude produces 7.5 to itself or higher.
