Resumo

The Acambay earthquake of 1912 was one of the most destructive intraplate earthquake in the XX Century located in central Mexico. Urbina and Camacho, geologist and seismologist respectively, researchers of the Mexican Geological Survey made one of the most complete and interesting field reports about destructive earthquakes. These authors reported the geological and archaeoseismological effects in the macroseismic zone. All of these data are useful so far and this paper revisited the macroseismic zone 100 years after and applies modern structural analysis in order to obtain new vision of the real consequences and the spatial distribution of the effects. It allow trace the mean direction of ground movement in the macroesismic zone (N-S).
