Still no aftershock?

 Quoting: Simple27



Soft soil makes Mexico City shake like it was built on jelly


snippets:

The soft soil that lines the ancient lake bed that Mexico City is built on amplified the shaking from Tuesday’s earthquake and increased its destructive force, seismologists say as they try to better understand the quake that has killed more than 200 people.

Scientists are looking at other quirks of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake, including the absence of aftershocks and if it is somehow related to a distant, even stronger, Mexican temblor that struck a dozen days earlier.

Scientists have been unable to detect any aftershocks as of Wednesday afternoon, said USGS seismologist Paul Earle. Usually an area can expect an aftershock one magnitude lower, which would be in the 6.1 range, he said — even though Tuesday’s quake was a type that is usually accompanied by fewer aftershocks.

Unlike most earthquakes, it did not happen where two tectonic plates meet. Instead, Tuesday’s quake happened in the middle of the Cocos plate, the result of pressure built up as it slips under the North American plate.

This so-called “slab fault” quake usually has fewer aftershocks, like the relative quiet after a 2001 earthquake in Seattle. Tuesday’s quake was deeper than normal at 51 kilometers (32 miles) below the surface, and deeper quakes are also associated with fewer aftershocks.

The Cocos plate is moving toward the North American plate at a speed of 76 mm per year to the northeast. The Cocos plate then subducts (goes under) the North American plate, causing volcanoes along central and western Mexico.
