 * Hey, I wanted to ask if the 2017 Mexico earthquake was indeed a megathrust earthquake because a megathrust earthquake is considered a 8.2 magnitude earthquake Warriorfangirl2346 (talk) 17:30, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

2017 Chiapas earthquake
This earthquake was a result of normal faulting - to quote from the article "The earthquake was a result of normal faulting within the Cocos Plate with a displacement of up to 10 m. ". Mikenorton (talk) 17:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It seemed like a megathrust because of the magnitude of 8.2 which was the same magnitude as the 2021 Alaskan earthquake which was a megathrust so that had me very confused! Warriorfangirl2346 (talk) 17:32, 12 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Normal faulting within a subducting plate can give rise to very large earthquakes (over M8). Of course that intraplate faulting is associated with the destructive plate boundary along the Middle America Trench. Mikenorton (talk) 10:38, 13 November 2023 (UTC) p.s. I've added a "reftalk" template so that the citations that I added only appear in this section of your talk page.
 * And what of the 1960 Valdivia earthquake? Didn’t that one shake Chile too like the other historic earthquakes? Warriorfangirl2346 (talk) 14:51, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
