A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck off the southern coast of Mexico, centered about 50 miles south-southwest of La Esperanza.

Human activity can cause “healed” faults to release their stored strength, triggering unexpected quakes in tectonically stable regions.

Earthquakes are often treated as acts of nature that strike without warning along famous plate boundaries, yet a growing body of evidence shows that human activity can also trigger damaging shaking.
