Following the rolling Face tug on June 28, a dead calm prevailed, then a Dark side adjustment at the end of June 29 during a Global Quake where the stretch zone adjusted notably more than the compression zone. (A similar stretch zone adjustment happened at the end of June 24, following a face tug on June 23.) At the end of June 29, the stretch zone adjustments occurred at Puerto Rico, Florida, through to South Dakota, and Brazil. Notably quiet at that time was the compression zone along the Pacific Rim, such as New Guinea, Taiwan, Japan, and Guam, though they then had a Face side Global Quake on June 30. Oddly, the stretch zone east of the Atlantic Rift is also quiet at the end of June 29, such as Norway, Armenia, Kenya, and Zambia. The stretch zone adjustment at the end of June 29 is thus only in a dropping SE corner of the N. American plate, the small plates buffered between the massive N. American and S. American plates giving way. The pattern of strong quakes in the compression zone at the Face side, when the Atlantic Rift is facing Planet X, with adjustments in the stretch zone later at the Dark side, is continuing.
