Mexico is a country of high seismicity and in SeptemberMany Mexicans tend to feel anxious or nervous because two of the most devastating earthquakes in the country’s history have occurred on the same day of the ninth month; he September 19th. The first occurred in 1985 shortly after 07:00 and the second; of magnitude 7.7 on the same day, but in 2017. For this reason, some wonder if it’s going to shake this September 2023 or how likely is that earthquakes happen on these dates.
The first earthquake that occurred on September 19th it was in 1985with a magnitude of 8.1 degrees, then came the September 19, 2017 whose epicenter was on the coasts of Michoacán, whose magnitude was 7.7 and was felt in Mexico City (CDMX), Hidalgo, Puebla, Guerrero, Jalisco, Morelos and the southern region of Chihuahua. Then came one more, on September 19, 2022for which many people wonder if it’s going to shake in the ninth month of 2023.
For the people who are wondering if it’s going to shake in September 2023 The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has wanted to calm the inhabitants of the country’s capital and the rest of the Mexican Republic. He did it in the magazine Scientific Disclosure September 2022 in the voice of the scientist Luis Quintalar Robles, doctor and academic secretary of the Institute of Geophysics of the highest house of studies in the country.
Why does it tremble on September 19 in Mexico? Will it shake in September 2023?
What the scientist Quintalar Robles explained is that “from a technical point of view there is no certainty or probability that the earthquakes occur on the same day”, so the earthquakes that occurred on September 19, 1985, 2017 and 2022 are a “unpleasant coincidence“. Likewise, many people have the mistaken idea that the month in which it trembles the most in Mexico is September.
Nevertheless, September is not the month in which trembles more in Mexico According to UNAM scientists, it was December, but given the various telluric movements that occurred on the same day; he September 19th, The highest house of studies does not rule out that in the near future it can carry out a more in-depth investigation and with mere scientific rigor, from seismology, to analyze this behavior.
Why does it tremble so much in Mexico?
According to UNAM scientists, Mexico It is a country with high seismic activity, and, therefore, the tectonic plates move continuously relative to each other, so that friction that is generated at some point can break the interface between two plates and release energy that gives rise to a earthquake. Doctor Víctor Hugo Espíndola, from the National Seismological Service, details that all telluric movements occur due to the rupture of the faults.
This break generates 2 types of waves; those of comprehension and the transversal, that depending on the place where the people are and how big the movement is, is the intensity with which the earthquakes are perceived.
