Erik the red is credited with giving greenland its name.

<h3>Who is Erik the red?</h3>
  • According to medieval and Icelandic saga traditions, the Norse explorer Erik Thorvaldsson, often known as Erik the Red, established the first settlement in Greenland between the years of 950 and 1003.
  • He probably got the nickname "the Red" because of the color of his hair and beard. He was born in the Jaeren neighborhood of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Thorvald Asvaldsson, according to Icelandic sagas. Leif Erikson, a well-known Icelandic explorer, was one of Erik's sons.
  • Erik had a brief exile, following in his father's footsteps. His thralls (slaves) triggered a landslide on Valthjof's adjoining property, which led to the initial clash. Eyjolf the Foul, a friend of Valthjof's, afterwards executed the thralls. Erik then killed Eyjolf and Holmgang-Hrafn in vengeance.

Why did the oil industry experience hard times from 1985 to 2004
dolphi86 [110]
In 1980, the price of oil all around the world was at its peak at the price of $35 US dollars per barrel which is around $109 US dollars per barrel in 2019 (once adjusted for inflation). The price then fell in 1986 from $27 US dollars to $10 US dollars ( $63 US dollars to $23 US dollars in 2019 dollars). The Glut had begun in the early 1980’s as a consequence of slowed economic activity within Industrial countries due to the 1970s crisis. I hope this helps you :)
