arc

Earthquakes are a near-daily occurrence in the Philippines, which is situated on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", an arc of intense seismic activity stretching from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.

Made up of thousands of islands, the Philippines sits in the so-called Ring of Fire, a seismic arc of volcanoes and fault lines around the Pacific basin that also includes Indonesia and Japan.

And from beyond the arc, nobody was more deadly.

Ms. Case’s songs spark with this kind of powerful but finite energy, which reflects the alternately joyful and melancholy arc of life itself.

But it is the end of the kind of education that seeks to bend the arc toward justice and equity.
