Answer:

A. Desire to find gold

Explanation:

The biggest motivation for the colonization/exploration of the Americas was the desire to find gold. At that time maritime trade was booming and gold was the standard currency and the most valuable. Also just like in every era power came with money which most wished to obtain. This led European explorers to set out in search for unclaimed gold mines for wealth and power.

The phrase, “out of this world," means not only “off planet Earth” but also,
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

B. going outside the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Outer space, or simply space, is the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies. ... Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space. Outer space does not begin at a definite altitude above the Earth's surface.

No, they don't believe there's an end to space. However, we can only see a certain volume of all that's out there. Since the universe is 13.8 billion years old, light from a galaxy more than 13.8 billion light-years away hasn't had time to reach us yet, so we have no way of knowing such a galaxy exists.

Outer space is not completely empty—it is a hard vacuum containing a low density of particles, predominantly a plasma of hydrogen and helium, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays.

What role did the United States play in Yom Kippur/Ramadan war
valkas [14]

The United States supported Israel in this conflict.

Due to this support, the United States and the Soviet Union were on a brink of a near-confrontation, the first since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

The Yom Kippur War, also called the Ramadan War, was a war fought from October 6th to 25th, 1973, between a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel.

The Arab coalition launched a surprise attack on Israel during the day of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism and during the month of Ramadan.

Israel was aided by massive U.S. military assistance and it seized the strategically important Golan Heights.

The Soviets backed down in the end but the relationship between them and the United States became farther damaged.
