Question

Map making went through a revolution in the 15th and 16th centuries when the age of exploration began. Famous explorers included Magellan, Lewis and Clark, and Vasco da Gama.

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The great navigations that led to the discovery and colonization of the American continent and European imperialism in other continents, during the 15th and 16th centuries were one of the most important factors for the revolution in the making of maps. This is because as the places that the great navigators and explorers needed to go were very distant, the maps had to be more and more precise, rigorous, correct and detailed, mainly in relation to the contour of the coasts. In addition, it was during this period that there was confirmation that the land had a round façade, which changed the entire mapmaking process.
