Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
After the Cretan civilizations were destroyed due to a series of earthquakes, the ocean trading legacy
likely passed to the Phoenicians. The Egyptians, however, were also conducting ship borne commerce
along the Nile River. Information can be found in the section Understanding the Ocean Began with
Voyaging for Trade and Exploration



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Fridjtof Nansen was able to prove there was no continent in the Arctic, but it did not come easily. He
allowed his ship to be trapped in the ice for four years. The ice, along with the ship, drifted 1,650
kilometers over that period of time. Information can be found in the section Contemporary
Oceanography Makes Use of Modern Technolog
