This information allows one to compare the relative strength of material in different source regions. The apparent strains (stresses) associated with earthquakes on ridges do not differ in the average from those associated with shallow earthquakes in trenches, which may indicate that the strength of materials and the rupture mechanism in the two source regions are the same.
