Abstract

Thisstudyanalyzes the strong earthquake, magnitude 7, thatoccurrednear Acapulco, Mexico, on September 8, 2021. The earthquake, originating at a depth of about 20 km, waspreceded by a series of electromagneticphenomena, detected by the Radio Emissions Project station in Rome and the international Radio DirectionFinding network. The electromagneticsignals were compared with the data collection, recordedsince 2008, and fallinto the typology of pre-seismicsignals of potentiallydestructiveearthquakes. The studyisproposedboth to add new data for the understanding of the mechanism of earthquakes and a crustaldiagnosis and, in perspective, for a pre-earthquakealertfunction.
