Thank you for posting that link. I am fascinated by the map.
It even tells us the depth of the earthquakes. From what I've glimpsed it seems that earthquakes in the sea (south Atlantic ridge) are not as deep as those on the land.

Here you go, Spindrift ~~ compare this map with the one above. The city of Oaxaca (official name, Oaxaca de Juarez) is in the middle of the state of Oaxaca. I live between Oaxaca & Zaachila (Santa Maria Zaachila on the map). For reference, Salina Cruz is at the bottom east part of the map.  |

I don't see why they ever dug the Panama Canal. They could have just waited for that whole area to sink under the sea.

You're just saying that because Juárez had Maxmilian shot. Spindrift, we had a BIG one in 1999. Lemme tell you, that was a looooooong 42 seconds! |

The closest I've ever been to an earthquake was being on the telephone with a friend when a small one occurred. That was weird enough for me.
I had friends stuck in an elevator in San Francisco during a pretty big one in the mid '80's.

I was never in Las Vegas.
But it's true that there is no place in the US that has a year-round climate benevolent enough for my delicate self.
