Visual Data: Epicenter Location and Seismic Spread in Oaxaca Region
◈ Event Technical Profile
Seismological Overview
A notable seismic event with a magnitude of 5.7 (Mw) has been recorded in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. According to instrumental data, the quake occurred at a relatively shallow depth of 22.2 kilometers. This event is situated within the North America seismic category, specifically along the highly active subduction zone where the Cocos Plate meets the North American Plate.
Felt Reports & Intensity
Given the shallow focal depth of 22.2 km, the seismic energy was likely felt strongly across the state of Oaxaca and extending into neighboring regions, including parts of Mexico City and Puebla. Shallow earthquakes of this magnitude often result in significant shaking near the epicenter. Our monitoring teams are currently analyzing planetary geometry correlations that may have preceded this sudden release of tectonic stress.
