Question

The Piri Reis map was developed by an Ottoman admiral and cartographer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct response is that it accurately depicts Option D: the coasts of Western Europe and Africa.

Explanation:

The Piri Reis is a map dated about 1513 and it was developed by an admiral and cartographer of the same name, Peri Reis. It is significant because it shows a very early interest in world exploration but there are several inaccuracies evident. The southern tip of South America is not accurate nor is the coastline in North America except for what might be Newfoundland. The most accurate parts of the map are the coasts of Western Europe and North Africa, and the coastline of Brazil is also fairly accurate across the Atlantic.
