About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 24. Chapters: 1985 Mexico City earthquake, Armero tragedy, Nevado del Ruiz, Hurricane Gloria, Tropical Storm Isabel, 1985 Pichilemu earthquake, 1985 Mendoza earthquake. Excerpt: The 1985 Mexico City earthquake, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake that struck Mexico on 19 September 1985 in the morning at 7:19 local time, caused the deaths of about 10,000 people and serious damage in the nation's capital. The complete seismic event consisted of four quakes. A pre-event quake of magnitude 5.2 occurred on 28 May 1985. The main and most powerful shock occurred 19 September, followed by two aftershocks: one on 20 September 1985 of magnitude 7.5 and the fourth occurring seven months later on 30 April 1986 of magnitude 7.0. The quakes were located off the Mexican Pacific coast, more than 350 km away, but due to strength of the quake and the fact that Mexico City sits on an old lakebed, Mexico City suffered major damage. The event caused between three and four billion USD in damage as 412 buildings collapsed and another 3,124 were seriously damaged in the city. While the number is in dispute, the most-often cited number of deaths is an estimated 10,000 people but experts agreed that it could be up to 40,000. Map showing Cocos and Caribbean platesThe earthquake occurred in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of the Mexican state of Michoacan, a distance of more than 350 km from the city, in the Cocos Plate subduction zone, specifically in a section of the fault line known as the Michoacan seismic gap at coordinates 18.190 N 102.533 W. The Cocos Plate pushes against and slides under the North American Plate, primarily along the coasts of the states of Michoacan and Guerrero in Mexico. Volatile trenches along the Cocos plate generally have had seismic events 30 to 70 years before 1985. This subduction zone outside the Gap was the source of 42 earthquake...
