Dear ladies and gentlemen, today I have the pleasure to introduce myself as a debutant reporter of the newspaper "El Universal", I am a recent graduate of the "Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México"  in the career of Communication and Journalism of which I obtained a remarkable average, in my career I have made different forums in public blogs where I have taken completely truthful information through interviews to own and third parties, today I have the opportunity to formalize my work which I will start in commemoration of the events that occurred that day September 19, 2021 in Mexico I feel it is something that we must be well informed and it is a personal feeling.

4.On September 19 at 13:14:40 hours central time in Mexico a tremor was perceived by the SSN with an intensity of 7.1 on the Ritcher scale and for the first time, since the installation of the seismic alert in the city, it did not sound moments before to warn the population and carry out evacuations. The alert was activated eleven seconds after the earthquake started, just when the waves reached the city, which did not allow a complete evacuation.

5.The Mexican seismic warning system (SASMEX) was created because of the 1985 earthquake that affected the Federal District at that time.

We must be aware that there are around 40 earthquakes a day in Mexico due to the area of the planet where the country is located, the Pacific Ring of Fire, and the confluence of the North American, Pacific, Cocos, Rivera and Caribbean plates. The area where Morelos and Puebla are located is usually the epicenter of some earthquakes, among which, one of the largest was the one that occurred in 1999, which left damage in Puebla and several municipalities in the south of the state.

This specific earthquake was produced by extensive stresses by the Cocos plate. The geological faults associated with these earthquakes are known as "normal faults".

6.Mexico is exposed to great seismic activity due to the belt of fire on the Atlantic coasts.

1.The earthquake was captured by the National Seismological Service (SSN) which detected the epicenter of this earthquake located on the border between the states of Puebla and Morelos, 12 km southeast of Axochiapan, Morelos. Although in global terms the earthquake was relatively close to the contact zone between the Cocos and North American plates, the earthquake occurred due to the effect of a normal fault, at a depth of about 50 km.

2.The earthquakes were detected by the National Seismological Service (SNN).
3.The mechanical seismograph was used for the first time in Latin America by the SSN.

The magnitude of both earthquakes were different, the 2017 quake counted 7.1 on the Ritcher scale while the 1985 quake had a magnitude of 8.0 just by the huge difference in magnitude of the two events, one would assume that there is no point of comparison.

This makes sense, as the 1985 quake released 32 times more seismic energy than the September 19, 2017 quake.

But the epicenter of the 85' earthquake was far off the coast of the state of Michoacán, more than 400 km from the city, which is why the 2017 earthquake caused buildings to be shaken by the coco plate only 120 km from the capital.

9. Torre Latinoamericana was built to withstand earthquakes of 9 on the Richter scale

One of the main affected by that earthquake was Mexico City, but why?

We all know that most of  7.the buildings in Mexico City are built on soft sediments from the ancient lakes that existed in the valley. These sediments cause an enormous amplification of seismic waves in Mexico City that is probably the largest reported in the world

8. Some buildings in Mexico City were collapsed by the 7.1 earthquake in 2017.

It is very likely. Under the coasts of the state of Guerrero, for example, there is a seismic gap of 250 km in length where an earthquake of magnitude greater than 8 could occur.

This segment is about 300 km from Mexico City. That is, approximately 150 km closer than the epicentral zone of the 1985 earthquake. Estimates made by UNAM seismologists suggest that, if this earthquake were to occur in the future, the accelerations of the soft ground in Mexico City could be, under certain conditions, greater than those of the 1985 earthquake.

10. Some houses were helped by rescue groups made up of people and dogs like the already known Frida
