Question

what type of natural disaster is common in Mexico City and why? (Include Unit, Lesson, Slide number). (2 points)

Answer 1

In Mexico City, the most common type of natural disaster is earthquakes. This vulnerability is primarily due to the city's location near several tectonic plate boundaries, particularly the interaction between the North American, Cocos, and Pacific plates. Additionally, Mexico City is built on a former lakebed, which can amplify the effects of seismic waves during an earthquake.

For accurate references, you might want to check specific educational materials or presentations, as I don't have access to Unit, Lesson, or Slide numbers. However, generally, earthquake preparedness and management are critical topics in Mexico due to this risk.
