House in a metal frame - Mexico City

House in a metal frame

by Kuznetsov_Sergey

Much of Mexico’s volcanic and seismic activity stems from the movement of the North American plate against the Cocos and Pacific plates and it is one of the most active trenches in the world.
The 1985 Mexico City earthquake, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake that struck Mexico City on the early morning of 19 September 1985, caused the deaths of at least 10,000 people and serious damage to the greater Mexico City Area.
To prevent damage some of houses are covered with metal frames (have a look at my picture).
