Mexico

Mexico is one of the highest seismic activities.  Mexico is located near three Tectonic plates. One of Mexico's largest earthquakes was in 1985. It was a  magnitude 8. And killed 9,500 people. Mexico is backed by The World Bank which helps third world countries in times of destruction.

Mexico

Mexico is located near the North American Plate.

Divergent Boundary is when two Plate boundaries move away from each other. It can happen either in the ocean or on land. The main things to worry about with a Divergent Boundary is volcanic eruptions and small earthquake activity. Convergent Boundary is when you have two plates contacting each other and one of them has to go under the other. The smaller of the two Plates is the one that goes underneath. One of the main things to worry with a convergent boundary is Volcanic Eruptions. A Transform Boundary is probably the most Famous. In this boundary two plates are moving past each other in opposite directions. The most Notable of this is the San Andres Fault Line. Unlike the others, this one is has to deal with more earthquakes.

Dropping A Little Bit Knowledge

From My Understanding a Natural Hazard is something whether it is things like weather or different climates that have the potential to injury ether property and/ or life. Disaster I like to look at it as the next step above a natural hazard. It has some requirements like number of deaths that occurred and number of people it has affected. And a Catastrophe is the next step about that and two steps above a Natural Hazard. This would be like Hurricane Katrina. A state of emergency is a must and unlike the others, This takes years possibly decades to overcome.
