The main land mass consists of the bleak steppe lands of the central Anatolian Plateau, set at 1,000m (3,300ft), ringed by the verdant Pontic mountains to the north and the Toros (Taurus) to the south. These ranges run east to west and join up with the vast, inhospitable mountainous region in the east that borders Iran and Iraq. Volcanoes and earthquakes: There are several large volcanoes in Turkey besides Mount Ararat, the highest, but none is thought to be still active. Fault lines do still have movement, and earthquakes in the north and west of Turkey have been common throughout history and continue to strike every ten years or so, the last being in 2007. Both the bogazici (Bosporus) and the Dardanelles owe their existence to of the shifting fault lines, and the whole of the black Sea was created as a result of subsidence along a series of fissures
