Earthquakes are especially common in which of the following regions?a. the Hindu Kush
b. The Empty Quarter
c. Iranian Plateau
d. Strait of Hormuz

Answers

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "d. Strait of Hormuz." Earthquakes are especially common in the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the most, if not the most strategic strait of water on the planet.

The correct answer is - d. Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is located between the territories of Oman and the United Arab Emirates from one side, and Iran on the other side. It lies between the water bodies of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.

The strait itself is on the boundary between the Eurasian tectonic plate, and the Arabian tectonic plate. They form a convergent boundary. Since the Arabian plate is pushing against the Eurasian plate, there's constant stress deep into the ground, stress that causes lot of cracks to appear inside the crust. That results in very common earthquake occurrences.
