This March 12, 2024, the National Seismological Service (SNN), of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), has recorded in its reports the activity of the last 20 earthquakes, The highest of them being 4.1 degrees of activity and the lowest being 2.9 degrees, the most affected areas being those in the southwest of the republic and the north in Baja California, places where since last Sunday, March 10, diverse conditions have been felt. seismic activities.
He shaking The most recent recorded by the SNN system, occurred in Atoyac de Álvarez, Guerrero, with a magnitude of 4.1 degrees on the Richter scale and which occurred at 12:59 am on Tuesday, March 12, this being the only one recorded so far so far this day, although the last 19 earthquakes have originated in other states such as Oaxaca, Chiapas, Colima, Veracruz and Baja California.
According to the 2023 seismicity map, the areas most affected by earthquakes earthquakes They are usually the southwestern part of the Mexican Republic, and the center, where most of the telluric movements have been recorded.. For several years now it has been well known that Mexico presents a great seismic activitydue to the geological faults that exist in the country, the main ones being the San Andrés, Mesoamerican Fault and the Transverse Volcanic Axis, so if you live in one of these areas it is recommended that you follow the prevention protocols to avoid a misfortune in in case you have to live a shaking.
The details of each of these earthquakes, They can be consulted through the official website of the National Seismological Service, who issue a record of how many tremors and what intensity each of them are, in addition to the affected states and the time in which the earthquake originated. earthquakeso if you want to know each of these details you can do CLICK HERE. Below we will give you a list of the last 10 earthquakes occurred in Mexico.

Can tremors be predicted?
According to the official website of the Government of Mexico, and to science specialists, earthquakes CANNOT be predicted, for several years now a lot of research has been carried out, but to date, there is no endorsed institution or person with the knowledge who has been able to make a reliable prediction of earthquakes with scientific support, despite the fact that there are tools to measure the intensity and size of the movement.
Most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of stress in the Earth's crust, so that stress gradually builds up due to the movements of the tectonic plates. Although we know what this is like, it is impossible to predict. the way in which that stress is released,” RIchard Luckett, a seismologist at the British Geological Survey, explained to the BBC, so we know where the faults are and where that tension could be released, but not when it will be released.
