A magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred early Sunday on the Pacific coast of Mexico, near the country's border with Guatamala, causing widespread shaking, but apparently not widespread damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the epicenter was located about 39 miles south of Tapachula, Mexico, off the coast of Chiapas. Seismologists say the quake began 21 miles deep, which is more than twice as deep as earthquakes that occur in Southern California. The shaking began at 7:12 a.m. local time.
The epicenter is located more than 1,300 miles southeast of San Diego
