King Henry VII of England commissioned an exploration so that a northwest passage is found towards the Orient because the Ottomans had captured Constantinople which was of great importance trade wise and also the waters in the eastern part of the Mediterranean became very dangerous for sale. Because the English king did not wanted to pay huge commissions to the Ottomans so that English boats can pass by freely and safely, he wanted a new route to be found so that the trade can go on freely and by English terms, not someone else's.

How did the conflict in Israel and Palestine emerge from competing national movements?
Musya8 [376]
As the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the conflict. The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the Palestinians are irrational “terrorists” who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes — on both sides — inevitably follow from this original injustice.

Which theory explains why rocks found on the ocean floor are younger than those found on continents?
Katarina [22]
It is because of subduction<span>: oceanic crust tends to get colder and denser with age as it spreads off the mid-ocean ridges. It gets so dense, that it sinks in the upper </span><span>mantle </span><span>(subduction). This is like a giant recycling system for oceanic lithosphere! Because continental crust is lighter than oceanic crust, continental crust cannot subduct. We therefore still have some very </span>old continental rocks<span> at the surface of the Earth.</span>
