Answer 1

To identify which place is not circled on the map of the Iranian Plateau, you will need to look at the locations marked on the map.

1. Hindu Kush: This mountain range is primarily located in Afghanistan, which is to the east of the Iranian Plateau.
2. Elburz Mountains: Located to the north of the Iranian Plateau, these mountains stretch across northern Iran.
3. Zagros Mountains: This mountain range runs along the western border of Iran and is part of the Iranian Plateau.
4. Mesopotamia: This region, which is often referred to as the "land between the rivers," is located to the southwest of the Iranian Plateau, primarily in modern-day Iraq.

Given this information, the place that is not part of the Iranian Plateau and is not circled on the map is A. Hindu Kush.
