PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THIS IS GEO EVEN THOUGH THIS IS MATH ILL MEDAL AND FAN! Why is Mexico and parts of Central America prone to earthquakes? Question 15 options: There is no clear reason why the area is prone to earthquakes. The building codes are old and outdated. The soil is soft and easily moved. The region lies on the border of two tectonic plates.

Because of plate tectonics: Southern Mexico and Central America are right at the subduction zone between the North American, Cocos and Caribbean plates. This in turn results on a land area with many volcanoes and prone to earthquakes.
