Answer 1

Earthquakes are common in Mexico due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates—including the North American, Cocos, and Pacific plates—interact and create significant seismic activity. The convergence, subduction, and lateral movement of these plates lead to frequent earthquakes throughout the region.
