Geography
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: After the hurricane, Galveston raised the elevation of many new buildings by more than 10 feet (3 meters). The city also built an extensive seawall to act as a buffer against future storms. Despite the reconstruction, the city's status as the premier shipping port was lost to Houston a few years after the disaster. Ike, however, is projected to head west on a path that will take it close to Hispaniola, Cuba, and the Florida Straits.”

Europeans used the Mississippi and the Amazon rivers to meet their business
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The Europeans, apart from doing their business through the Mississippi and Amazon, brought diseases to the native populations.

Explanation:

When the Europeans started to explore the Americas, they were trying their best to establish the best possible foundations for business and to make a big profit from it. This led to using everything that was at disposal, and the large rivers, like the Mississippi and Amazon, were excellent for easy travel and transportation over long distances. While these rivers served the Europeans very well, it brought tragedy to the natives.

Not always the Europeans were agressive to the native populations, but actually, more often than not they tried to establish good relations with them because in that manner they were able to have greater benefit. Unfortunately, through the interaction, the Europeans transmitted multiple diseases to the natives for which they did not have immune system capable of coping with them. This led to mass dying out of native populations. Both continents were heavily affected by this, and while often forgotten, the Amazon basin, with the new discoveries and what has been written in the exploration books by the Europeans, might have had several million-strong populations, which dissapeared in only a few decades.

Which of the following goods did not
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The tomatoes didn't come from the Old World during The Columbian Exchange.

Explanation:

During the time of The Columbian Exchange, thousands of goods found their way across the Atlantic, be it from one side or the other. This was very beneficial for both sides, with the Old World and the New World getting goods that imporoved the lives of the people. One of the most popular and nowadays among the most used goods, the tomato, came from the New World and was introduced in the Old World.

The tomatoes originated as a wild plant in the Andes, on the territories of modern-day Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The people living in this region saw their potential and started to cultivate them, and seeing what a delight they are, other people from other parts of the New World started to cultivate them as well. The people of the Old World though were skeptical about the tomatoes initially and were not very fond of them, and they even thought that when they start to go red they are getting spoiled. Over time, this changed as people saw that they have a wonderful food product, so the tomato became one of the most popular goods.
