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.

Which of the following is an example of how life began to change in the united states in the 1920's
Dennis_Churaev [7]
<span>The character and quality of life changed dramatically in Nebraska during the 1920s….The effects of technological change were most obvious in the cities. By the 1920s most small cities had paved streets, municipal electricity and water systems, telephone systems, streetlights, and sewage systems… The homes of most urban Nebraskans had running water and indoor plumbing…Electricity appeared in homes on a grand scale during the 1920s, at first for illumination but by the end of the decade for washing or sewing machines, irons, toasters, mixers, and vacuum cleaners…Refrigerators began to replace iceboxes for short-term food preservation, and electric fans began to cool hot summer days.

i really hope i helped you out in some type of way :)))</span>

Why can the pueblo revolt be seen as a watershed event in spanish colonial history?
olga2289 [7]
<em />It was a watershed event because it showed that the local culture and local people were done with being treated in a bad manner and that they will not allow for their culture to end. Their culture started getting incorporated in mainstream culture afterwards and this can be seen up to this day.<em>
