Coastal geography

transport throughout Eurasia and Africa. The trans-saharan caravan routes and eurasian silk roads both allowed for the spread of religion and culture such as islam and buddhism. While both of these routes have spread ideas, they differ in ways such as geography and substance. The trans saharan caravan routes were based around the trade of gold and…

near canals. Previously, manufacturing was constrained to sites near rivers, oceans or other water ways. The old process largely favored the manufacturer near the coast and caused the value chain of the manufacturing process to be inefficient as geography transportation was a huge constraint. The structural shift of manufacturing sites to more favorable manufacturing sites is significant because it minimizes transfer and labor costs. Turnbull notes that “the movement of such low-value raw…

a geographically positioned that led to great wealth and spread its influence through trade. Geography played a very important role in the empire's growth. I am going to explain the land location, trading, and defensive positions of Phoenicia. Ancient Phoenicia was near the water, which made it the ideal location for a trading hub. It was north of Canaan which is modern day is Palestine and the coastal area of modern day Gaza.This allowed Phoenicia to expand into a civilization that lasted for…

The geography of New England was mostly hills with rocky soil. This factor, along with the climate, was one of the main reasons why agriculture did not thrive in this region. The climate of the New England colony was much colder than the Chesapeake colony because…

Since it is geographically situated facing the bay of Bengal, the coastal areas are prone to natural disasters such as cyclones, storm surges, floods tornadoes, etc. About 80% of the country is formed by the floodplains of big rivers known as Meghna, Ganges, and Brahmaputra-Jamuna, making the area vulnerable to sea rise…

than the south, but slightly less so than the north. The dazzling interior reflects the wealth pouring into the city at that time, and a tour of the ornate rooms and galleries reveals a grandness and richness as extravagant as any royal palace.The coastal strip has flat lands and gentle inclinations, whilst the interior is ridged with mountains. It is home to the Serra da Estrela mountain range, a harsh, rugged landscape rising to almost two thousand metres at its highest point. Winter sports…

nitrate. The soil is so dry it is similar to what is on Mars. Which was founded by The Phoenix Mars. This Deseret only gets less than 1% of rain. It is so hot because it is located in between two mountain ranges, the Andes and Chilean coast range(Geography). The water that does go in through is always cold so it dries out any cool air in the air. Some of the river beds haven't had water in it for over 120000 years.the winds that do go through there is from the pacific anticyclone and it's always…

According to Szczucinski, a professor at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Polan, the Boxing Day Tsunami affected the coastal zone environments. There was extreme coastal erosion due to the large waves hitting shore. The salt water also had an effect by polluting the ground. He also states that the “surface waters caused significant changes in coastal zone ecosystems, where the run-up reached up to 31 meters above sea level and in some places the shoreline moved as much as 1.5 kilometers…

The Western World, North and South America Columbus’s discovery launched an Age of Exploration, where every European power wanted a piece of the New World. Shorty after Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the Western Hemisphere, in 1492, many Europeans also started the strenuous expedition. One of which was Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian who constituted an entirely separate journey to this second super continent, came to be named "Americas", deriving its name from Americus, the Latin version of…

When the Europeans first came to, what is now known as North Carolina, they struggled to make it and eventually ended up settling in Virginia because of numerous reasons, political, geography, and culture. The Virginia colony finally figured out a way to turn profit and the settlers began settling in North Carolina again. Because North Carolina lacked a deep port they relied heavily on their surrounding colonies to get food and supplies, as well as more immigrants to work. America began to…
