Explanation:
The silk road whose name was derived from the popular trade in silk, was a connection of trade routes which linked the east to the west. It was important to the cultural, political, economic and religious communications between these regions in the 18th century. Some of the places connected were south Asia, southeast Asia, east Asia, east Africa, Persia and southern Europe. The silk road was important to the development of these regions.
The common hazards the traders of the silk road faced were bandits. Bandits were a threat as expensive products like gold were transported through these roads. Another hazard was the difficult terrain and mountains the caravans had to navigate. Next was the deserts and sandstorms.
