Read the information below and answer the questions. Earthquakes have caused many problems in the Middle East. Much of Turkey is located over the earth’s most active fault lines, and most of Turkey’s cities are located over a fault line. The August 17,1999, earthquake in Turkey killed 15,000 people, while the December 26,2003, one in Iran killed nearly 30,000 people. The area around the Caspian Sea in northern Iran is also susceptible to earthquakes.

1. To be located over fault lines is a problem for Turkey's cities because it is along the fault lines, that an earthquake usually occurs.

2. Death toll is higher in developing countries such as Turkey than a developed nation such as the United States because of the construction of building and density of population.

Explanation:

1. Fault line can be defined as a long crack on earth's surface. Earthquakes usually tend to occur on fault lines. Since Turkey's cities are located on fault lines, it causes problem and severe damage when earthquake occurs.

2. Death toll from earthquake is higher in developing countries than developed countries because of the way buildings are constructed in these two countries. The buildings are strong and build with good material in developed countries and thus cause less damage in earthquakes, whereas buildings in developing countries are not strong and earthquake resistant, thus causing more damage and loss of life. Another reason for higher death toll is population density. Turkey is a densely populated country, thus causing more loss of life.
