History

Tom [10]3 years ago
4 0

As Genghis began building his empire, he realized the Mongol army would need many things: bows and arrows, swords and spears for war, tack for the horses, leather for armor and, once it was discovered that silk worn under leather could prevent an arrow from penetrating the body, silk clothing. Genghis Khan also needed people who could read and write to administrate the lands coming under his sway. The Mongols needed trade as never before.

To facilitate trade, Genghis offered protection for merchants who began to come from east and west. He also offered a higher status for merchants than that allowed by the Chinese or Persians who despised trade and traders. .During the Mongol Empire, merchants found protection, status, tax exemption, loans and consistent aid from the Khans. For the 100 years of the height of the Empire, the East-West Mongol trade routes became the fabled Silk Road which for the first time linked Europe to Asia, allowing the free flow of ideas, technologies and goods.

The Mongols not only offered the use of the Yam system to merchants, but set up protective associations for them called Ortogh. Instead of extortionist tax rates, the Mongols gave traders tax exemption. Genghis offered a form of passport to merchants that gave allowed them to safely travel along the Silk Road. The Mongols even loaned money at low interest to merchants. If paper money was used as currency, it was backed with silk and precious metals.

Which statements describe advantages of maps over globes?
Nat2105 [25]

The correct answer is all of them.

Indeed, A globe has one main advantage over maps, that it does not distort the exact scale of the size of a given country or territory, providing its user with an exact idea of the territorial sizes and differences between countries. Maps have to be distorted to a certain extent in order to make adapt them to a two-dimensional space from a three-dimensional one. The funny fact is that a spherical geoid distorts geological formations such as mountains and canyons since were these to be realistically imprinted on its surface they would be barely visible due to the very small scale of the globe. Otherwise the globe would have to be enormous, occupying the size of a large room in order to show a noticeable relief or carving for mountains or canyons.

Maps are very practical, they can be specialized in so many ways that globes cannot. They want provide far more detail that globes can and make it easier to compare nations between themselves and provide clear geodesic positioning for them. Changing the round space into flat space makes them incredibly practical as they can be easily put on a table with other documents where a globe would encumber them. And they are certainly easier to carry around than a globe. Now, the only caveat is that such advantages/disadvantages change when the globe is a virtual image like the one from Google Earth, but that is a different subject.
