00:00Situated in the trans-Mexican volcanic belt,
00:05Mexico City was once the center of Aztec society.
00:11Today, Mexico City is a modern city rich in history.
00:16Mexico is awesome. It's great.
00:18I mean, we have a really cool weather. The people is awesome.
00:22I love Mexican food, Mexican music, Mexican culture.
00:30Yet this thriving metropolis lies in one of the most seismically active regions in the world,
00:36along what's known as the Ring of Fire.
00:41Home to most of the world's volcanoes, this is where the Earth moves and roars to life.
00:48The Ring of Fire, of course, people get very excited about this.
00:51It's basically just the Pacific Rim.
00:54The surface of the Earth is divided up into about ten plates.
00:58These tectonic plates are in constant motion.
01:01Where they meet, along the Ring,
01:04about 90% of the world's earthquakes shake the planet.
01:09As the oceanic plate dives down beneath the continents,
01:12this pressure is being built up by plate tectonics.
01:14It slips, and the energy then radiates out across the surface of the Earth.
01:19It's this sliding process as they move past one another
01:22that generates the earthquakes that we feel.
01:24You know, Mexicans, especially if you come from Mexico City,
01:29are aware of the danger that an earthquake can bring.
01:33This is the same with the planet.
01:34You know, this is a wonderful thing.
01:35This is the same with that.
01:36I'm trying to imagine how you find out.
01:37You know, you've got to go back to the Earth.
01:38This is the same with the sea that you can't move past.
01:39You know, you can tell me.
01:40What's the most fascinating weather?
01:41Come on, you've got to go into the sky.
01:42He's got to find out in the sky.
01:43And I'm doing some of the weather.
01:44You know, you have to find out somewhere in the sky.
01:45And you have to get to the sky.
01:46You can see that.
01:47You can see that the sun's lightning with obviamente,
01:48you can see that but at the sun's glory.
01:49And I'm feeling like that.
01:50But I'm feeling like that's moving airy.
