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 was the significance of Greenwood being nicknamed “The Black Wall Street”?
Afina-wow [57]

<u>Answer:</u>

the significance of Greenwood being nicknamed “The Black Wall Street” as B) it signified the financial success of the area

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the early 20th century, the present-day Greenwood Avenue was known as the Black Wall Street for its thriving economy, wholly propelled by the African American community. Under the Dawes Act, 1887 many African-Americans who were former slaves of tribes acquired land in this area. Others migrated to this area, which was now considered a haven for the black community, to escape racial oppression.

OW Gurley and JB Stradford are mainly credited to kick start the economic development of this place. Schools, hotels, furriers, posh restaurants, a library and other establishments of prosperity marked the streets of Greenwood.

New businesses cropped up with assistance from the affluent black community. This ensured that the money so created circulated first within the community. This made Greenwood entirely self-contained, reliant and an economic powerhouse and thus the name- Black Wall Street.
