Oceans currents are significant in thermal regulation. The ocean waters at the equator are warmer than those at the poles. This is due to the fact that the tropics receive direct sunlight throughout the year than the poles. The less dense warm currents move towards the poles on the surface waters while the cold denser waters from the poles move towards the equator on the ocean floor. This is expedited by the Coriolis effect of the earth’s rotation. These ocean currents transfer heat and distribute it hence regulating the globe’s climate.

jekas [21]

The humanist scholarship encouraged oceanic exploration as due to the large-scale printing of books, people started gaining knowledge and setting out on oceanic expeditions in order to find new trade routes and satisfy their spirit of adventure.

The factors which motivated the Portuguese, particularly Prince Henry the Navigator, to explore west Africa were to extract and export gold and other valuables from which Portugal could benefit. The other reason was that Prince Henry was fascinated about west Africa as the Portuguese had little knowledge about it.

With the development of the printing press, books were available more easily and were even cheaper. This help in the widespread of new ideas and thoughts in society. People built sturdier ships with this knowledge and set out to explore new oceanic routes to procure spices and other goods at cheaper prices from different parts of the world.

Which South American country is the largest consumer of plant-based biofuels in the world?
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is - C. Brazil.

Brazil has a large and ever-growing economy. This means that it needs more and more resources in order for the economy to go forward and develop. As a country that has the biggest amount of available biomass in the world, Brazil has been trying to fix this problem with the production of bio-fuels, and in fact, it is the second biggest producer in the world of bio-fuels. But only that it a big producer, Brazil is actually using this bio-fuel, and it is a trend that is becoming bigger and bigger. So Brazil is using its own bio-fuel, but also imports a lot of it, thus being the largest consumer/user of bio-fuel in the world.
