The 2014 Guerrero earthquake occurred with a moment magnitude of 7.2–7.3 that hit the state of Guerrero, close to Acapulco, Mexico, on 18 April at 14:27:26 UTC (9:27 a.m. local time). The epicenter occurred 265 kilometers southwest of Mexico City and at a depth of 24 kilometers. Thrust motion at shallow depths is what caused the earthquake. This was broadly consistent with a slip on or near the Guerrero Seismic Gap, a boundary between the Cocos and North American plates along the Pacific coast approximately 200 kilometers long. The shaking was felt in states as far away as Puebla and Tlaxcala.
