A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck Mexico yesterday near Acapulco, causing damage, and marking the largest quake to strike the country since 2022. This earthquake occurred at the boundary between two tectonic plates, but did not occur within a nearby seismic gap. Today's video will discuss the thrust fault related earthquake which happened.
