What did the fight between the Virginia and the monitor show?

History
1 answer:
otez555 [7]3 years ago
7 0

The epic battle between the ironclad CSS Virginia (formerly the steam frigate USS Merrimack) and the USS Monitor made history not simply because ironclads were involved, but rather because it was the first engagement between two ironclads. The outcome of the battle is generally considered to have been a draw, although Monitor was firing solid shot throughout and designer John Ericsson was reportedly furious that Monitor had not been supplied with explosive shells, which he was sure would have sunk Virginia had they been employed by firing at Virginia’s waterline. As it was, Monitor probably did more overall damage to Virginia. Monitor had heavier guns and cracked Virginia’s armor in several places, whereas Monitor suffered only dents, literally.

Hope this Helps ;)

How is living in the savannah different from living in the rain forest
Nostrana [21]
Tropical rainforest receive over 100 inches of rainfall per year. Most types of forests can support large populations of plants and animals; however, tropical rainforests support the greatest number of species of any other type of biome on the planet

Savanna is essentially grassland interspersed with trees. It is sometimes found in temperate climates, usually in areas that are transitional zones between grassland and forests. However, savanna is mostly found in tropical regions of the world where the climate changes in a seasonal pattern from cool and dry to hot and dry and then to warm and wet before starting the cycle again the following year.
