The correct answers are A) To understand why so many or so few people live in an area. B) to predict the kinds of homes people will build in the future. D) to know why unemployment might be high in an area.
It is helpful to compare a dot density map to a physical features map for the following reasons: To understand why so many or so few people live in an area, to predict the kinds of homes people will build in the future, and to know why unemployment might be high in an area.
With the use of these maps, we can better understand the density of a region and what facts could influence the conditions and situations that people can face regarding topics such as employment or lack of, the possibilities or building more homes and the growth of urbanization and to forecast the number of people who could move to that region because of the existence and probable infrastructure.
As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.
