How did the compass help with navigation of the seas?

History
1 answer:
navik [9.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The first Western civilization known to have developed the art of navigation at sea were the Phoenicians, about 4,000 years ago (c. 2000 B.C.E. ). Phoenician sailors accomplished navigation by using primitive charts and observations of the Sun and stars to determine directions.

Explanation:

Despite these early beginnings, it would take many centuries before global navigation at sea became possible. Until the fifteenth century, mariners were essentially coastal navigators. Sailing on the open sea was limited to regions of predictable winds and currents, or where there was a wide continental shelf to follow. Farther ventures were enabled by the development of scientifically and mathematically based methods and tools.

Is america an empire and explain why?
Novay_Z [31]
In a way it is, but also it isn't. The definition of Empire is: a group of states or countries under a single supreme authority. America is a group of states, and technically it is under one supreme authority. (The president) But, there is also the branches of government, supreme count, congress, and everything else that makes up America's government. Usually when you think of an empire, it is a country or nation trying to expand or take over. America isn't doing that. I would say technically it is, because it is a group of states under a supreme authority...
