Effects of Sediment Thickness upon Seismic Amplification in the Urban Area of Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas, Mexico
Local variations in soil type and (to a lesser extent) topography determine seismic amplification, thereby establishing spatial patterns in the damages caused by large earthquakes, such as the two that occurred in Chiapas, Mexico on 6 October 1975 and 7 September 2017.
