The correct answer is C. The sailors understood the patterns of monsoon winds in the Indian Ocean for the benefit of timing their travel between ports in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea.

 

EXPLANATION:  

The sailors understood the patterns of monsoon winds in the Indian Ocean because it happened in a fixed time each year. It will help sailor to time their travel while sailing through the Indian Ocean. There are two main types of monsoon winds and each of them has very unique characteristics:  

1. Indian Ocean monsoon: winter

The winter monsoon is blowing from North to East. The characteristics of the north-easterly winter monsoon are dry with relatively stable winds that support the sailing in their area.

2. Indian Ocean monsoon: summer

The summer monsoon is blowing from South to West. The characteristics of the south-westerly summer monsoon are wet with big storms and powerful winds that make sailing a struggle. This monsoon makes sailors avoid them by not sailing in the summer months, such as June, July, and August.  

If the sailors understood the monsoon rhythms, it is possible to sail steadily through the Indian Ocean. The sailors need to have knowledge about the favorable wind and use it to sail. Knowledge of favorable winds is important to the benefit of sailing with lighter winds and calm weather.  

The Roman period wrote about the use of monsoon winds. The Roman period written sources were Periplus Maris Erythraei, that includes the distances between the ports in the Indian Ocean and products that could be traded while traveling between ports.

seropon [69]
Of the list, the best answer is C) Automakers on the verge of collapse. GM, Chrysler and Ford (the Big 3 United States Automotive companies) were bailed out in 2009 following their request for a rescue bailout. This was controversial because, like other corporate bailouts that occurred at the time, the concept of "fairness" felt at best subjective and at worst disregarded. Some companies were rescued while others were not, and the American people did not have the privilege of an enormous bailout.

Some action was taken to insure sub-prime mortgages, and thus to help protect homeowners struggling following the housing crisis, but this was less controversial and also did not happen on such a large and immediate scale.

NeX [460]

Answer:

An atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds a planet.

Explanation:

The definition above is exactly what an atmosphere is.

All planets have atmospheres, of varying compositions depending on the location of the planet, the distance from the star they go round, the composition of the planet itself, and the presence or not of other celestial bodies nearby like moons or large asteroids.

Mars for example, has a very thin atmosphere, something that makes it hard for life to prosper in the red planet (so far, we have no evidence of life in Mars), and also makes it very cold, because atmospheres also act as mitigators of planetary climates.
