During the early 1900s, Britain had a major influence on several regions like Bahrain and Kuwait.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
Britain had a major influence on Bahrain and Kuwait in the 1990s. The interests of Britain lay in the oil deposits found in these countries. Britain was also responsible for maintaining its position in the Gulf region. Britain assured the Gulf nations that it would make oil available to only those companies that were approved the government.
However, most of these companies were of the British origin which led to criticism of the presence of Britain in several countries in the Gulf. Because of its presence in the countries, Britain till date has an impact on several of the Gulf countries and maintains political and military links with them.
This is because glaciers and ice sheets worldwide are melting and adding water to the ocean. And the volume of the ocean is expanding as the water warms.
Because of the large presence of water in the Southern Hemisphere, the climate in the Earth's southern half is milder overall than the Northern Hemisphere. In general, water heats and cools more slowly than land so water near any land area usually has a moderating effect on the land's climate
