Mexico is not exempt from earthquakes, nor are they always mild.

                                  ↓                                                     ↓

                             Clause 1                                          Clause 2

Both clauses can be called so because both have their own subject and predicate, and both express a complete thought. Therefore, they must be separated by a comma.
