They navigated by the sun, moon, stars, and landmarks.

This has happened more recently than you suppose.
In the early Antarctic expeditions, which were in the 20th century, there were no maps ("Terra Incognita") and obviously compasses were useless as well.

As well, the South Pacific islanders, especially the Polynesians, always navigated by stars, ocean currents, and other natural signs. They were, and are, remarkable navigators.

Is atmospheric pressure the same everywhere on the surface of the earth?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Atmospheric pressure differs in different parts of the world.

Explanation:

  • This is because atmospheric pressure depends on the height of a particular location on earth.
  • A number of locations on the earth are at sea level. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch.
  • At higher levels (altitudes) the atmospheric pressure is lower since higher places have got less air pushing downwards compared to lower altitudes which have more air pushing down and hence, high atmospheric pressure.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Loess.

Explanation:

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and the fourth longest single river on earth. There are different numbers for its length, depending on the measurement method: 4845 kilometers is the most common one. Its catchment area covers 752,443 km². The river takes its name from the yellowish color that is created by loess that has been removed and washed into the river via streams and tributaries, which in turn fertilizes the land when it floods over its streams, making fertile land on its way.
