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.
