Detailed explanation-1: -Situated atop three of the large tectonic plates that constitute the earth’s surface, Mexico is one of the most seismologically active regions on earth. The motion of these plates causes earthquakes and volcanic activity. Most of the Mexican landmass rests on the westward moving North American plate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Northern Mexico has a chaparral biome in which cacti, shrubs, and shrub oak grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Describe how mexicos location on “the ring of fire” has helped to shape its landscape. The ring of fire is an area where tectonic plates collide with other tectonic plates creating seismic activity. This seismic activity helped shape volcanoes in Mexico.
