Ocean. Global trade is the exchange of valuable and substantial products that are desired by a continent‚ and in this case‚ it was silver. Silver played a prominent role throughout the global trade with China being the primary end-market for world silver for several centuries. (#2‚ p.393) The reason China was the primary source of silver is the result of having significantly high prices‚ whereas other continents had more suitable pricings. The central point is that all the great silver mines in both hemispheres

Colonizing is when a group of settlers come and take control of a place and it is usually forced. South America is a unique place to live‚ with people who have built their lives‚ homes and families there. Based on the negative effects when Europe colonized Africa‚ the US government should not colonize South America because it could cause a detrimental war and change the culture and the way of living that the natives have established. When Europe colonized Africa‚ there were a lot of harmful outcomes

In addition‚ Americans‚ according to Chapter 5 of Mistaking Africa‚ has made an increasing presence in the African continent. For example‚ IBM has opened research labs in Kenya to assist with congested cities‚ and space programs have been advanced to assist farmers in rural Africa. Farmers in rural Africa not only interact with urban cities in Africa but also trade with

Understanding the Movement of Earth Continental drift is the idea that continents move freely over Earth’s surface‚ changing their positions relative to one another over time. This hypothesis has been around for more than 130 years. It’s amazing to know that once ago these continents on Earth were once joined together and have split and moved apart from one another. In 1596‚ Abraham Ortelius hypothesized that continents “drift”‚ but later a German meteorologist named‚ Alfred Wegener‚ fully developed

different rates of human development on different continents. The author explains and expresses this statement by many different angles‚ such as evolution‚ intelligence‚ climate‚ location and advanced technology. Why did history take such different evolutionary courses for people of different continents? In other words‚ what steps did different continents take to become who they were and how were they able to take those steps? How did different continents develop faster than others? Could it depend on

results of this model “the gross changes of climate in the Northern Hemisphere can be fully explained by the strong cooling in high latitudes as continents moved poleward” (Donn‚ 2013). Today we continue to see climate changes around the world. There are many factors contributing to such changes however‚ the constant motion of the plates causing continents to drift is having a large impact on climate. Plate movement also contributes to increased volcanic activity. When a volcano erupts it releases

Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement (40 marks) The plate tectonics theory was made by a German named Alfred Wegener. He stated that a single continent existed about 300 million years ago named Pangaea and that it split into two continents of Laurasia in the north and Gondwanaland in the south. Today’s continents were formed by further splitting of the two masses. Evidence to support this theory is that there is that there have been fossils found on both sides of the Atlantic
