Oceano atlantico facts

History

Cubriendo aproximadamente el 20 por ciento de la superficie de la Tierra, el Océano Atlántico es la segunda cuenca oceánica más grande del mundo, siguiendo solo el Pacífico. Sin embargo, es solo un poco más grande que la mitad del tamaño del Océano Pacífico.

El Océano Atlántico se encuentra entre América del Norte y del Sur en el oeste y Europa y África en el este. Hacia el norte, el Atlántico se conecta con el Océano Ártico y hacia el Océano Austral hacia el sur.

Los científicos a menudo dividen el Atlántico en dos cuencas: el Atlántico Norte y el Atlántico Sur. El Atlántico Norte, donde las aguas se hunden después de ser enfriadas por las temperaturas árticas, es el comienzo del "transportador oceánico global", un patrón de circulación que ayuda a regular el clima de la Tierra.

El Océano Atlántico deriva su nombre del dios griego, Atlas.

Covering approximately 20 percent of the Earth’s surface, the Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean basin in the world, following only the Pacific. However, it is only slightly larger than half the size of the Pacific Ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean lies between North and South America on the west and Europe and Africa on the east. Up north, the Atlantic connects to the Arctic Ocean and to the Southern Ocean to the south.

Scientists often divide the Atlantic into two basins: the North Atlantic and the South Atlantic. The North Atlantic, where waters sink after being chilled by arctic temperatures, is the start of the “global ocean conveyor,” a circulation pattern that helps regulate Earth’s climate.

The Atlantic Ocean derives its name from the Greek god, Atlas.

What were the primary reasons for french colonization
Simora [160]

Answer:

The French colonized North America to create trading posts for the fur trade. Some French missionaries eventually made their way to North America in order to convert Native Americans to Catholicism. The original intent of Dutch colonization was to find a path to Asia through North America, but after finding the fur trade profitable, the Dutch claimed the area of New Netherlands.

Establishing permanent settlements: Unlike the Spanish and English, the French and Dutch created few permanent settlements. French settlements were initially made up of fur traders, merchants, and missionaries, so that there were fewer than 5,000 settlers by 1672. Dutch settlements were also relatively small, and only about half of their residents were Dutch, the others being a mix of ethnicities, including Germans and French Huguenots.

Interactions with Native Americans: The goals of both the French and Dutch revolved around the fur trade. Unlike the Spanish and English, the French and Dutch fostered good relationships with Native Americans. The French in particular created alliances with the Hurons and Algonquians. Both the Dutch and the French relied on marriages with Native Americans to expand their fur trading operations.

Describe the events of the passover. What did people have to do for god to see that people had chosen him as god. CHRISTIAN STUD
pav-90 [236]
Passover was when the Lord killed all the first born children in Egypt but PASSED OVER the children of Israel. People can't do anything of worth for God. all our works are like filty rags to him. What the people did for God to pass over them is they obeyed Him by painting the blood of a lamb on the doorpost (which is what He commanded them to do). God chose them, they didn't chose God.
