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
<span>The Global Surface Temperature is Rising
</span>NOAA states:<span>Many lines of scientific evidence show the Earth's climate is changing. This page presents the latest information from several independent measures of observed climate change that illustrate an overwhelmingly compelling story of a planet that is undergoing global warming. It is worth noting that increasing global temperature is only one element of observed global climate change. Precipitation patterns are also changing; storms and other extremes are changing as well.
