Answer:

The soft black sand is called 'uzura seki' in Japanese, is regarded as consecrated soil, imbued with the blood of about 21,000 Japanese servicemen who perished in the six week long 1945 battle.

Explanation:

The battle of Iwo Jima happened during the World War II between the United States and Japan. The Island of Iwo Jima was a strategic location that the United States used for fighter planes and bombers to land and take off when attacking Japan. The sand of Iwo Jima was the first obstacles that the armies faced. They faced 15-foot-high slopes of soft black volcanic ash.

The American army were bogged down in the soft black volcanic ash of Iwo Jima and this helped the Japanese.

Why did Spain explore the New World?
sergejj [24]

Spain did not immediately realize that the New World was in fact a new continent. Columbus himself died without ever knowing that the land he had arrived to was not India.

However, when Spain realized that this land was completely undiscovered, they decided to explore it. This was motivated by several reasons. On the one hand, they were curious to see what the territory was like. On the other hand, they were also motivated by the possibility of owning such a vast territory and the resources located in it. Finally, they were motivated by the idea of turning the Native American people they encountered into Christians, thus achieving their salvation.
