    Gates of Fire

    This story is told as a narration by a dying Xeones to the Persian king Xerxes. The loan surviving greek is kept alive after sustaining battle wounds by a surgeon to tell his account of the battle of Thermopylae and the events before it. His narration jumps back and forth between time to explain certain events. Xeones and his cousin, Diomache, are orphaned at a young age and hide in the hills with a slave. Diomache is taken as a maid after being gang raped as punishment for stealing and Xeones continues to Sparta where he becomes a battle squire under Dienekes. He explains in horrid detail the gruesome training of the Spartan children to become citizens or 'peers'. Xeones takes the married life and has a child. Persia threatens to invade Sparta and, under the leadership of King Leonitas, the Spartans go to fight the incomming forces. Defending the main passage of a narrow path through the mountains, the Spartans, accompanied by only a few thousand greeks, face the better part of 2 million Persian troops. As the first day of battle draws to an end, many Persians lie dead, yet only a few Spartans lay in their wake. Xerxes learns of a path leading behind the Spartans and sends a force to entrap them. After 7 days of gruesome battle, the Xerxes and his troups finally overpower the troups, and Leonitas is beheaded. After his story is finished, Xeones passes due to his wounds. The scribe writing his story accounts for the rest of the war after his passing including the Persians losing the war to the Greek army.…

The relevance to plate tectonics, is that volcanoes are created by two plates coming together and pushing up on each other to create the volcano. The Ring of Fire is evidence of high plate tectonic movement in that particular area and outlines where the plates in that area come together.What events on the Earth’s surface tend occur in this region more frequently than in other regions of the earth? Why do they occur here? The earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the Ring of Fire because of the movement in the plate tectonics.What do trenches and mountain ranges have to do with the ring of fire and plate tectonics? Trenches are deep underwater. Trenches which are found where two destructive plate margins meet e.g. there is one east of Japan. Mountain ranges are created where two land masses on different plate margins come together and all the earth between these margins gets forced upwards, the most famous one is the Himalayas. The ring of fire is the volcanic area found on the edge of the massive pacific tectonic plate, which as you guess is a circular…
