Thanks for your response.

At least you gave an estimate (Ring of fire). Hoogerbeets could say at least Asia Minor.

Right?

5.56mm

Ring of Fire has been active but due to what I will call Plate Harmonics the reverberations or movement of one may cause others to slip as they may have pent up pressures (NW fault near Seattle etc.) The Pacific plate is Subducting (going under) The North American plate which causes later stresses to occur as well as vertical ones, that is how the mountain ranges were “lifted up” as in The Tetons and The Rockies as well as lesser ranges. Deformation of the plates causes pressure on adjoining ones and so a massive movement in the Pacific one may actually loose an equivalent movement in say Yellowstone or New Madrid fault which runs North-South in the middle of the US

If it were Asia Minor (Turkey et all) also referred to as Anatolia here is a link showing their fault zone and note the Eurasian and Arabian planes have Turkey squashed in between them
