The Asian islands near China and India were fabled for their spices and gold, making them an attractive destination for Europeans. In other words, I believe that motivated him. No, he did not. He thought he had reached Asia, but it was actually America. Well the Spanish goal seemed to be to kill as many Taíno as possible, so Columbus did not treat them well, none of the Spaniards did.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest!

Hey again!

Asian territories, especially China and India (Mughal Empire) were full of precious metals and lots of spices. That's what encouraged Christopher Columbus and many explorers to go to Asia; however, he did not reach Asia. Instead, he reached to Latin America and the Carribean islands. He brutally treated the Taino and other native tribes of the Caribbean; he would force them into slavery and make sure that the tribes would give all of their prized possessions in the hands of Columbus and other Spanish conquistadors (explorers). Eventually, he found that the Carribean and Latin America was another huge opportunity for the rise of the economy for his mother country, Spain. He surprised and made the Spaniard leaders very happy with the many precious items he found. Coconuts were also introduced to Spain. Queen Isabella of Castille, the ruler of Spain at the time, gave Columbus ownership of all the land he discovered ad found as long as the Crown collected around 20% of the revenue earned by Columbus. However, eventually, other conquistadors had found out what Columbus and other explorers like Pizarro were doing in Latin America and immediately reported their brutality to the Crown. Columbus faced numerous charges and consequences.

What is the value and purpose of natural revelation? Use complete sentences.
kow [346]
There are two kinds of revelation: natural revelation and special revelation. Natural revelation is what we as human beings can discern about God from what we see in His creation. Special revelation is what God reveals to us through His Holy Word… which as a Christian, I would limit to what is revealed in the Holy Bible. Note however, there are other “voices” which can pretend they are God speaking to us but some from Satan and not God. In our Bible Satan even tried to tempt Jesus Christ. So special revelation here is limited to what comes from God Himself.

Natural Revelation. Nature is all around us. If you take the telescope, you see the vastness of the heavens above. We can see about 6000 stars with our naked eye… but now that we have telescopes and other devices, we know that there are billions of billions of whole galaxies. When we see this, our thoughtful mind asks… How did this come to be? We know that something cannot come from nothing. There must be an explanation of how it came into being. We hear the scientists talk about the Big Bang. But then we ask… but where did the Big Bang come from? Soon we are pressed into the idea that there must be Someone or Something… outside of our universe for the universe cannot create itself.

Then we take the microscope and we look into the micro-world. We find out that what we see is made up of tiny particles… smaller and smaller until we come down to the atom. But then we start to take the atom apart and we find a delicately made electron and proton made in a very complicated design. And the electrons are spinning around the protons etc. We ask. How did this come to be? As we study atomic structure we find it is extremely complicated with many different kinds of atoms that make up the fundamental elements which make up our world. We stand back amazed and say… how did this happen? Surely this did not happen as an accident of nature.

What was the significance of the steppe in the geography of russia
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The steppe crosses the Russian plain, south of the taiga, penetrating deep into Siberia. It comprises three main types, which run in roughly parallel bands from east to west: forest steppe in the north, through steppe, to semi -desert steppe in the south. Within these belts, zones of temporary inundation on floodplains or in zones of internal drainage provide valuable hay land. The steppe was increasingly ploughed for crops during the twentieth century; initially crops were rotated with naturally regenerated grassland, but from mid-century cultivation was increasingly intensive. During the collective period, the emphasis was on industrial stock rearing, with housed cattle and high inputs; since decollectivization, intensive enterprises are closing for economic reasons, and systems have yet to stabilize. If ploughed land is left undisturbed it will return naturally to steppe vegetation in six to fifteen years. Hay is very important for winter feed, and much is made from seasonally flooded meadows. Many marginal, semi-arid areas of the steppe have been put under crops, but are not economically viable; much of the cereals so produced are fed to livestock, but grain yields are very low and yield no more livestock products than would natural grassland, but at far higher cost. Marginal cropland should return to grass.
