The correct answer is D) was a Portuguese-perfected knowledge and application of wind patterns used to sail along the West African coastline.

The "Volta Do Mar" was a Portuguese-perfected knowledge and application of wind patterns used to sail along the West African coastline.

Without a doubt, Portuguese navigators were one of the most innovative sailers of their time. Portuguese explorers even had a navigation school established by Prince Henry in 1419, because exploration and the dominion of the seas was a priority to the kingdom of Portugal. Portuguese sailors developed a great technique called "Volta Do Mar" during the so-called Agre of Discovery. This technique perfectioned the knowledge of the North Atlantic Gyre, better known as the permanent cycle of the wind in the Atlantic Ocean. This made Portuguese sailors know more and depend on the wind to sail their ships.

How did Manifest Destiny encourage westward expansion?

zavuch27 [327]

Manifest Destiny was a term that described the widespread belief in the mid-19th century that the United States had a special mission to extend west.

Explanation:

The concept was not particularly new, as Americans were already exploring and settling west, first across the Appalachian Mountains in the late 1700s and then, beyond the Mississippi River in the early 1790s.
But by presenting the concept of Western expansion as one's religious mission, the idea of manifest destiny struck a chord.
Although the phrase manifest destiny seems to have taken on a public mood in the mid-19th century, it has not been observed with universal approval.
Some at the time thought that they were simply putting pseudo-religious fields on a radiant craving and conquest.
