At least 49 people died and 100 were injured. Tectonic setting This earthquake occurred in the area where the Rivera plate subducts beneath the North American plate.Zobin V.M.

Most of the flooding occurred in the Tenacatita Bay area. Landslides blocked roads between Guadalajara and Manzanillo. In Manzanillo, 18 people died in the collapse of an eight-story hotel.Death toll rising after earthquake in Mexico https://www.baltimoresun.com/2003/01/23/death-toll-rising-after-earthquake-in-mexico/ January 23, 2003 New York Times News Service The Baltimore Sun 2011-12-20 Characteristics Earthquake The earthquake rupture lasted for about a minute and involved a 200 km long break along the plate boundary. The greatest displacement of the fault is about 5 m.http://www.usc.edu/dept/tsunamis/manzanillo/ The Manzanillo Earthquake 2010-03-13 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110528024610/http://www.usc.edu/dept/tsunamis/manzanillo/ 2011-05-28 A 14 cm subsidence occurred at Manzanillo. The variations in observed seismic intensity indicate that three asperities were ruptured during this event. Tsunami The tsunami had a maximum run-up height of 5.1 m. There were at least two waves recorded. The tsunami was also observed in Ecuador, French Polynesia, Samoan Islands, Australia and Hawaii. Postseismic moment release The aftershocks of this earthquake marked a rectangular region of about 170 km by 70 km.Pacheco J. Singh K. Domínguez J. Hurtado A. Quinanar L. Jiménez Z. Yamamoto J.

If the postseismic moment release up to about two weeks after the main shock is included, it will be equivalent to 35% of that of the main shock, which will make the additional seismic moment equivalent to that of an w y 7.7 earthquake.http://www.geodesy.cwu.edu/about/pubs/melbourne/Melbourne_WebbEA_Postseis.pdf Rapid postseismic transients in subduction zones from continuous GPS Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth 107 B10 ETG 10–1 2002 Melbourne Timothy I Webb Frank H Stock Joann M Joann Stock Reigber Christoph 2002JGRB..107.2241M 10.1029/2001JB000555 free See also List of earthquakes in 1995 List of earthquakes in Mexico References EXPO-CAT Earthquake Catalog https://earthquake.usgs.gov/static/lfs/data/pager/catalogs/ December 1, 2008 United States Geological Survey Version 2007-12 ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900–2009) http://www.isc.ac.uk/iscgem/index.php ISC 19 January 2015 International Seismological Centre Version 2.0 PAGER-CAT Earthquake Catalog https://earthquake.usgs.gov/static/lfs/data/pager/catalogs/ September 4, 2009 United States Geological Survey Version 2008_06.1 External links 75476 Category:Megathrust earthquakes in Mexico Colima-jalisco Earthquake, 1995 Category:1995 in Mexico Colima–Jalisco Category:1995 disasters in Mexico
