The damage was concentrated in a 25 square km area of Mexico City, 350 km from the epicenter. The underlying geology and geologic history of Mexico City contributed to this unusual concentration of damage at a distance from the epicenter. Of a population of 18 million, an estimated 10,000 people were killed, and 50,000 were injured.To provide long-term scientific data stewardship for the Nation's geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibilityIn workasNeeded-102.533-102.53318.1918.19NASA/GCMD Earth Science KeywordsEARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > Natural Hazards > Geological HazardsRestriction Code: otherRestrictions; DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of CommerceHazards Dataphysical and mailing
