Yes. The Pacific coast of southern Mexico lies along the subduction zone of the Cocos Plate where it meets the North American Plate. Southern Mexico has many active volcanoes as well as seismic activity.

Baja California has been pulled away from the coast of mainland Mexico by the relative motion of the Pacific and North American plates, forming the Gulf of California. The San Andreas fault runs along the Gulf of California and causes earthquakes in the northwestern part of the country.

In September, 1985, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake, centered off Acapulco, killed more than 4,000 people in Mexico City, more than 300 kilometers away. From Mexico City, you can see two active volcanoes, Popocatépetl and Ixtaccíhuatl, which have visible smoke plumes from time to time.
