Mexico is one of the countries with great seismic and volcanic activity as it is located in the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, where a large part of the world’s tremors are recorded. The country is located on the North American Plate, limited in its southern and western portion, by the Cocos, Rivera and Pacific plates. Knowing the seismic characteristics of the country, the National Seismological Service (SSN) provides details of the earthquakes felt today, Saturday, February 10.
It is important to highlight that the Aztec nation is one of the countries in the world with the greatest earthquake activity, since more than 90 earthquakes are recorded per year with a magnitude greater than 4 degrees on the Richter scale, which is equivalent to a 60 % of all telluric movements recorded in the world.

The last report was issued on February 9, 2024 at 2:42:08 p.m. (local time) SASMEX initially detected an earthquake in 4 earthquake sensor stations, which did not merit an Alert notice to Mexico City because the energy of the developing earthquake allowed a minor seismic effect to be predicted in the City.
