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.

True or False. A constellation is a set of stars grouped into a figure.
alukav5142 [94]

The correct answer is True.

Explanation

A constellation is a group of stars that when united by imaginary loops form a figure, these stars are connected imaginatively by loops to form these figures and are original from ancient cultures, mainly from the Middle East and Mediterranean Europe. The formation of constellations is due to the invariability of movement of the stars, on the other hand, the stars that form a constellation can be very far from each other and are only related by being part of a constellation. The celestial sphere is usually divided into two, the constellations that are to the north are known as northern constellations and those that are to the south southern constellations, these two are divided by means of the celestial equator. So, it is true, A constellation us a set of grouped into a figure.
