Answer:

<u>TRUE</u>

Explanation:

Despite the many hypothesis about the New Madrid, Missouri earthquake a notable theory is that the earthquakes arose from activity occurring along the Reelfoot Rift, an ancient subterranean rift zone thought to have developed some 500 million years ago after geologic forces pulled the region in a northwest-southeast direction.

Implying that after hundreds of millions of years of relative inactivity, the pressure along the faults had again built up from the east-west compression of the North American Plate leading to the earthquake.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Zagros Mountains

Explanation:

The Zagros Mountains are one of the most dominant geographic features in the Middle East. This mountain range has length of roughly 1,600 km. There are three countries through which the Zagros Mountains are stretching, those being Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. The majority of the Mountain range runs through Iran, making up big portion of the border with Iraq, as well as being a natural barrier at the southern coast of the country.

These mountains have elevation of over 4,400 meters above see level. They are responsible for the dry climate in Iran, as they are a big natural barrier for the air masses, so they create a rain shadow, making the interior of Iran very dry.
