The fact is that there are some "seismic focal zones", which are limited to rather small sizes (up to 100 kilometers), where "earthquake centers" "lie". This is something like a “piece” of a plate immersed in a semi-liquid melt and ready to “burst” both due to its own mechanical bending and “melting”, and under the pressure of the natural current of magmatic convergence (magma in the mesosphere continuously circulates in the form of annular rotary flows) . The picture looks like a cookie dipped in hot tea. As soon as the “cookie crawled into hot tea” of the mesosphere “melts” enough, then under the influence of the current of mantle convection, “it” periodically bursts. Accordingly, the entire upper part of the plate shakes on the surface. As you can clearly see, this process consists of very specific components. One of them is the speed of movement of lithospheric plates, which directly affects the speed of “diving cookies into tea”. In some areas it is up to 20 centimeters per year. The other is the number of processes simultaneously occurring in one place. There are several places on Earth that are especially active in this regard. Three are most characteristic: in the region of Japan, the Arabian Peninsula and the Caribbean. As immediately "striking" these are world-famous places of the greatest historical and social phenomena. Not surprising. In the region of the “bridge of the Americas”, two planetary belts of compression of the lithosphere converge, the Cocos plate, the Caribbean, Pacific, South American and North American plates. An amazing "mess" that can't help but "shoot". And it is there that the “Island of Freedom” is located, where we, if desired, can “drill” as much as we want. We "drilled". Who does not remember the "search for oil in Cuba"? No, if we found oil there, that would be good too, but what we needed was not oil at all, but ... “HOLES”. Drilling wells, especially ultra-deep wells, is a well-known business for us, and Cubans are always happy if they are offered to look for oil from them for free. So everyone is happy and satisfied. We have had ready wells and "bookmarks" for them for a long time. All you need is a team. Preparation will take no more than a day. Nikita Khrushchev during the Caribbean crisis did not threaten at all with a few nuclear missiles that would reach New York and Washington. Khrushchev threatened with a "parallel" strike on the border of the lithospheric plates, as a result of which America could be "washed away" altogether. But then, after a little thought, scientists and politicians came to a logical conclusion - the more noise with missiles, the worse we make ourselves worse. It is quite possible to pre-drill wells “without noise and dust” and calmly drop charges there, and deliver warheads to other places and accurately place them at the points of detonation not with missiles, but with ordinary civilian ships and simple “hydrographs” (even ordinary fishing seiners). "For the sake of interest" two more such "nodes" were "densely developed" - the Arabian one, where the Arabian, African, Eurasian plates and the planetary compression belt meet; and also the Pacific - between the Philippine, Pacific plate and the compression belt. In a word, we “sentenced” America, Israel and Japan quite successfully. Or rather, it was not we who “sentenced” them, but the Lord God, because except for Sakhalin, such “collisions” do not exist anywhere else near our territory. With all this, it is very interesting that Sakhalin is a “disputed” territory, and the same Finland is still “ours”. So history and geotectonics are inseparable things. From this point of view, you can do whatever you want, but absolutely nothing can be done with Australia - it “floats” itself at a speed of 7 centimeters per year in the center of the Indian plate, and it is not afraid of anything. And yet, at the same time, his ambitions do not interfere with anyone. God knows who is where.
