North America has four major deserts: Great Basin, Mohave, Chihuahuan and Sonoran. All but the Sonoran Desert have cold winters. Freezing temperatures are even more limiting to plant life than is aridity, so colder deserts are poorer in both species and life forms, especially succulents.
The four North American deserts
The Great Basin Desert (plate 10) is both the highest-elevation and northernmost of the four and has very cold winters. The seasonal distribution of precipitation varies with latitude, but temperatures limit the growing season to the summer. Vegetation is dominated by a few species of low, small-leafed shrubs; there are almost no trees or succulents and not many annuals. The indicator plant (the most common or conspicuous one used to identify an area) is big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), which often grows in nearly pure stands over huge vistas. (Such cold shrub/deserts in the "Old World" are called steppes.)
The Mohave Desert (plate 11) is characterized largely by its winter rainy season. Hard freezes are common but not as severe as in the Great Basin Desert. The perennial vegetation is composed mostly of low shrubs; annuals carpet the ground in wet years. There are many species of these two life forms, but few succulents and trees grow there. The only common tree species is the characteristic joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia), an arborescent (treelike) yucca that forms extensive woodlands above 3000 feet (900 m) elevation.
Though the Chihuahuan Desert (plate 12) is the southernmost, it lies at a fairly high elevation and is not protected by any barrier from arctic air masses, so hard winter freezes are common. Its vegetation consists of many species of low shrubs, leaf succulents, and small cacti. Trees are rare. Rainfall is predominantly in the summer, but in the northern end there is occasionally enough winter rain to support massive blooms of spring annuals. The Chihuahuan Desert is unexpectedly rich in species despite the winter cold.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Thomas Rowlandson's portrayal of eighteenth-century society was different from Lemonnier's in the following way.
French artist Anicet-Charles Limmonier depicts the scene of aristocratic people at the Mari Rodette Geoffrin's saloon. These aristocratic people are paying attention to the lecture of famous Enlightenment thinker Voltaire. The painting is very colorful and we can see the elegant apparel of the aristocrats.
On the other hand, the portrayal of the famous British cartoonist Thomas Rowlandson's portraits middle-class people in a totally different environment: a middle-class Caffe, in Salisbury Marketplace. The environment is more relaxed, and patrons are reading newspapers and having light conversations.
In the times of the Enlightenment, people used to meet at coffee shops or saloons to talk about the issues of the time.
Answer:
Prince Henry contributed to global exploration:
He opened a navigation school and funded expeditions.
Explanation:
Prince Henry completely dedicated his entire life and riches to sea navigation. In particular, he paid for many ships to voyage across the ocean to discover Asia and Africa. Above all, he initiated the sharing of knowledge of geography and navigation by opening a navigation school. In addition, Prince Henry is credited with the invention of the oceangoing caravel ship, including the perfection of the critical navigational instrument called the astrolabe.

A simple, yet precise definition of civilization would be from the author of young adult books, John Green describes civilization as it requires having surplus production of food. Most civilizations were near the river. This also includes the existence of a government, labor, and trade.
