Earthquake in Mexico
The
1965 Oaxaca earthquake
occurred in
Mexico
on August 23 at
with a
moment magnitude
of 7.5.
[1]
[2]
Five people were reported dead in
Mexico City
and one in
Oaxaca
. There was an anomalous change in seismic activities before the earthquake. There was a quiescent stage from late 1963 to mid-1964, and it was followed by a renewal of seismic activities before the main shock.
[3]
This earthquake was a shallow thrust earthquake in the interplate
subduction
zone, in which the
Cocos Plate
is subducting beneath the
North American Plate
.
