Mexico Experiences Daily Low-Magnitude Quakes Under SSN Monitoring

Real-time seismic data helps authorities gauge hazards for public safety.

Overview

  • On July 29, the Servicio Sismológico Nacional recorded only tremors below magnitude 4.0 across Mexico.
  • These routine quakes reflect continuous interactions between the North American and Cocos tectonic plates.
  • The SSN operates a nationwide network of seismological stations for real-time detection and analysis of seismic events.
  • Mexico typically registers about 90 earthquakes above magnitude 4.0 each year, but recent activity remains within normal levels.
  • SSN’s timely reports inform civil protection agencies and support disaster preparedness and scientific research.
