The three earthquakes occurred on September 19, and Mexico was cursed?

Grade 7.6, the largest earthquake this year. Hualien, which is not in the "vibration mode", is not in Sichuan, which has just occurred at a magnitude 6.9 earthquake, but on the distant south hemisphere, the southwest coast of Mexico.

At 1:00 pm local time on September 19, 2022, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred in the southwest coast of Mexico. This is the world's largest earthquake in 2022.

The earthquake is located 37 kilometers southeast of Aquella, near the border between Kerma and Miman Kenzhou. The depth of the earthquake is 15 kilometers. At present, it is known that the walls of a shopping mall have died in a mall wall.

As soon as the earthquake came out, the media and netizens were "boiling".

The southwestern coast of Mexico is located on the dive belt. It has frequent earthquakes in history. A magnitude 7.6 earthquake should be said to be uncommon. Moreover, the current earthquake is not much casualties. The reason why this earthquake has attracted great attention was because it happened on September 19, which was cursed.

"Curse" September 19

On September 8, 2017, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in the Gulf of Mexico. 11 days later, at 11:14 a.m. local time on September 19, 2017, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred in the inland of Mexico, causing at least 300 people die.

A magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in the waters of 137 kilometers southwest of Kasara, Chapas, Mexico on September 8, 2017

Two hours before this earthquake, the local people were still conducting earthquake disaster prevention exercises because on September 19, 1985, a magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in Mexico.

A magnitude 8.0 earthquake on September 19, 1985 also occurred on the southwest coast of Mexico. Although it was 400 kilometers away from Mexico City, it caused serious consequences of tens of thousands of casualties. Because Mexico City is in the sedimentary basin, the loose sediment below the city has enlarged the earthquake effect, and the shaking of Mexico City even exceeds near the epicenter.

In 1985, the earthquake in Mexico still stayed in the memory of its citizens

After that, Mexico set September 19 as a national disaster prevention and mitigation day, and a national earthquake emergency drill was held every year.

Three major earthquakes occurred in different years, and such a coincidence may cause public opinion no matter which country.

After a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in 2017, the Mexican Daily announced on the front page that "another cursed September 19". Many people who have experienced three earthquakes even said, "This is a devil." Some people even associate it with the earthquakes that occurred in Hualien, Taiwan a few days ago.

However, scientists believe that this is just a coincidence. Earthquakers of the US Geological Survey said that there are no seasons or months of "a large earthquake" anywhere in the world. However, it is certain that people will look for a regular coincidence, with preset answers to find the phenomenon that can be evident.

Destiny is destined to have more earthquakes

Most of the Mexican earthquakes are "destined to hit". Three major earthquakes occurred in the same country in different years and the same date may sound rare, but it is not surprising that in such an area where the earthquake is active.

Looking at the historical earthquake catalog, the area of ​​the area is densely distributed, and there are many earthquakes larger than the 7.6 level. According to incomplete statistics, Mexico has experienced more than 40 major earthquakes in more than 70 games in the past century, and there are four magnitude 8 earthquakes.

It seems that as long as the crustal activity continuously stops, the Mexican earthquake will not stop.

Central and southern Mexico are where five sectors are gathered -the Pacific sector, North American plate, Kok Si, the Caribbean and Panama plates. One of the most unstable regions in the world.

The yellow pentagram is the earthquake position of the 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Mexico on September 19, 2022. White dots represent the earthquake that has occurred in history. The larger the dots, the higher the earthquake level. The red line in the figure is the edge of the plate.

In particular, the COCOS sector (from the coast of central Panama to the seaside coastal in central Mexico), it is advanced to the American section at a speed of 4-9 cm each year. , Deep in the Sino -US groove along 5 kilometers, 3,000 kilometers long penetrate inside the earth. The sector was broken and misplaced, and the huge energy contained inside the earth was constantly released through the earthquake.

Mexico is also known as a valve to release earthquake energy on the earth.

Crack the "curse"

It may be difficult for some residents of earthquake trauma to understand why the earthquake occurs on the same date. But rather than the "curse" of Mexico on September 19th, it is better to say that the earthquake is portrayed by the dive belt hidden in the depths of the sea. Behind it is the collision between the plate and the plate, which is the release of energy inside the earth.

I realized this early, and Mexicans who accepted fate have been doing disaster reduction work to reduce the damage caused by the "curse".

Earthquake emergency evacuation drill in Mexico City

After 1985, Mexico held a national earthquake drill every year to establish a complete seismic monitoring system, improve the earthquake emergency mechanism, and enhance the public's awareness of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction. The Mexican government has implemented stricter standards for buildings to ensure that residential and office venues can better bear earthquake damage than in the past, and in 1993 they were put into use of earthquake early warning projects.

On September 22, 2017, three days after a strong earthquake occurred in central Mexico, rescuers participated in the search for survivors in a primary school in Mexico. However, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake that occurred on September 19, 2017 still killed more than 300 people. 39 buildings in Mexico City collapsed. The collapsed buildings were either built before 1985 or the quality of the building was as bad as the school in the picture above. Over the years, Mexican architectural seismic design specifications have been updated, but complaints that have poor supervision of relevant departments and the lack of earthquake resistance in the society have always existed.

Earthquakesdon'TKILLPEOLE, Buildingsdo.

The earthquake does not hurt people, and it is a building that hurts seismic.

In the earthquake again and again, what we are constantly affirming is that truly strengthening the building's earthquake resistance is the method of cracking the curse of the earthquake.
