Seismic waves, which are generated when energy is suddenly released in the Earth's lithosphere, are responsible for the shaking of the surface of the planet during an earthquake.
Earthquakes
UNAM engineers develop innovative seismic energy dissipators to protect buildings from earthquakes. These devices reduce damage, are cost-effective, and can be installed in new or existing structures. The technology is being transferred to industry for widespread use.
History
Mexico's forgotten 1920 earthquake devastated towns near Xalapa and Veracruz. El Universal newspaper accounts reveal vanished communities, collapsed buildings and a rising river carrying victims.

Following these guidelines can help you stay safe while driving a car, car, or any other vehicle during an earthquake.
Michoacan
For more than a year Popocatepetl has presented a low activity rate, with fewer ash emissions. The arrival of this dust to Mexico City occurs frequently because it is regulated by wind direction. The population is advised to pay attention to the recommendations.
Earthquakes
The most powerful earthquakes are typically connected to movements that take place in subduction zones, which are regions where two tectonic plates come into contact with one another. These regions are known as tectonic compression environments.
