With the Ottoman empire controlling overland trade routes, the Europeans began to search for a water route to Asia.

<h3>European marine trade with Asia</h3>

Started after the Portuguese successfully sailed around Africa to get to Asia.
Was as a result of the Ottomans controlling overland trade routes.

The Europeans were Christians and did not want to be held hostage by the Muslim Ottoman empire controlling their trade with Asia. They therefore sought another way to get to Asia and did so around Africa.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

1. In a hot-spot volcanic island chain, such as the Hawaiian Islands, all islands possess active volcanoes simultaneously and th

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

As the volcanic islands of Hawaii are still considered to be in an active zone, as the Hawaiian islands are believed to be formed on the hotspot of eruptions ie. the active plate boundaries from below the surface these tend to move westwards direction from the main island of Hawaii.

As we go from east to west the chain of rocks gets older and then forms a ring-shaped pattern hence called the ring of fire. Thus there is a great risk of volcanic hazard as these are fault lines being associated with high magnitude tectonic earthquakes.

They can have a seriously damaging impact upon other islands as well and this considered to be highly hazardous. As various vents and mounds of volcanic nature lie within the oceans of the Pacific plate.

Voyager I is now about 110 AU from Earth, continuing to record its environment as it approaches the limits of our Solar System.

Monica [59]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.

Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.

(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.

As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU

The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU

The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU

The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71

= 3758.835 times.

(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr

Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr

Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours

That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.
