Answer:

1. It enabled the Chinese people to navigate the seas and participate in sea trade.

2. It inspired China to expand its army and conquer more territory.

Explanation:

The Compass was invented in China around the ninth century in order to determine the directions in the open sea, and initially it consisted of a magnetic needle floating in a vessel full of water. Later it was improved to reduce its size and facilitate its use, changing the water vessel by a rotary axis, and adding a "rose of the winds" that serves as a guide to calculate directions. Currently the compasses have received small improvements that, although they do not change their operating system, make the measurements easier to perform. Among these improvements are lighting systems for taking data in dark environments, and optical systems for measurements in which the references are objects located in the distance.

How does the above description contrast with early mining operations in the American West?
Phoenix [80]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The above description contrast with early mining operations in the American West in that the formerly conditions of the old west were completely different than the "beautiful hills, waving fields of grass, prancing mule deer, a glimmering lake . . ." description by T.H. Watkins.

Indeed, it was the opposite. American settlers that decided to bet on the west and the "gold fever," found difficult conditions and economic hardships. That was not an easy time and required extra work to find the gold.

And let's have in mind that many people that went to the west were people that have been suffering from the difficult conditions in the Plains during the so-called "Dust Bowl" period in which drought and the lack of rain killed animals and affect the production of crops.
