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.

Answer:

Yes, with a condition.

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources and have always been available on the planet, but until recently, humans have not had the technology necessary to harness them. Since solar and wind energy are limitless, it clearly makes sense to invest the necessary amounts of money to build one-time infrastructure capable of powering all human activity without depleting natural resources.

The condition that is a prerequisite already being fulfilled is that technology be developed to make alternative energy solutions <em>economically viable and profitable </em>enough to be able to compete with traditional non-renewable sources.
