What led to the end of trans-saharan trade routes
zysi [14]
<h2>The End of Trans-Saharan Trade Routes:</h2>

Explanation:

The factors that led to the end of trans-Saharan trade routes are:

  • Civil unrest due to collapse of the Songhay Empire, the Timbuktu, by the Morracans in 1591
  • The extreme desert conditions like extreme climates, excessive heat, lack of water and food etc made the travel logistics very tough. This made people opt for other transport systems
  • Huge advancements made in maritime travel  
  • Exploration of West African trade routes
  • Economic, political and social changes which led to the end of trans-Saharan trade routes

4. How does the amount of wind affect hurricane formation? (5 points)
Reika [66]
Well wind sheer can cut off the tops of storms. Wind sheer stops a storm and it's energy from moving upward. Because that energy is what is called latent heat and this is stopped, the storm cannot basically develop or continue on.

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.

Suppose that two asteroids are orbiting the Sun on nearly identical orbits, and they happen to pass close enough to each other t
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

It will end up on an orbit that is farther from the Sun

Explanation:

Total energy must be conserved, so if one asteroid loses energy and moves to a closer orbit, the other has to gain energy and move to a more distant orbit.
