Ring of Fire 

the stress drop 

during faulting contributes

to the radiated energy. With thrust

faults the rock mass is pushed so that it 

escapes upwards lifting the rock. The oceanic plate 

bends downwards taking the lithosphere seaward. Producing 

long subducting plate faults. And ruptures . The mantle 

material spreads away from the ridge an is able to 

sink into the hotter underlying trench, an arc 

parallel to the trench descending beyond. 

Reverse faults with colliding plates

make the most violent earthquakes 

of magnitude 8 or more the 

energy proportional the 

the area of the 

ruptured fault

seismic activity 
over a period of time 
creates tremors measured with 
a seismometer moment magnitued
what shall I put it on the richter scale ?
there was a 7 in ancient Antioch and a 7.3 in 
Turkmenistan in the fouties. Although the Iranian
and Russian ones are comparable … it took 13 years to
design the magnitude scale because the spectra of seismic
signals required alot of detailed documentation and analysis

Soft power resources are the assets that produce attraction 
which often leads to acquiescence. Nye asserts that, 
“Seduction is always more effective than coercion
and many values like democracy, human rights 
and individual opportunities are more deeply 
seductive.”Angelo Codevilla observed 
that an often overlooked essential 
aspect of soft power is that 
different parts 

of populations 
are attracted or repelled 
by different things, ideas, images, 
or prospects. Soft power is hampered when policies, 
culture, or values repel others instead of attracting them.
