The Reelfoot Rift extends through parts of five states: Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Illinois. It is a geological feature formed by tectonic activity and is notable for its impact on the landscape and the creation of Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. The rift is associated with seismic activity, particularly in the New Madrid Seismic Zone.
it happed up sabways chak noorus... mwahahahahaha
Reelfoot Lake was created by a series of seismic events, specifically the New Madrid earthquakes that occurred in the early 19th century (1811-1812). These earthquakes caused the Mississippi River to change course, leading to the flooding of the low-lying land in the area, which eventually formed the lake. Over time, natural processes such as sediment deposition and the growth of wetlands further shaped the lake's ecosystem. Today, Reelfoot Lake is known for its rich biodiversity and serves as an important habitat for various wildlife species.
Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1941.
The area of Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge is 42.201 square kilometers.
Tennessee only has one natural lake of significant size. Reelfoot Lake was formed during the New Madrid earthquakes, specifically during the one on February 7, 1812
