Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although all of these things were byproducts of being able to voyage, alternative ocean routes were
being sought out for potential commerce. The already established Asian and Arabian trade routes
through the desert were unstable and eventually cut off in 1453. Information can be found in the
section Understanding the Ocean Began with Voyaging for Trade and Exploration.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Ptolemy was also responsible for dividing each degree of longitude and latitude into minutes and
seconds. This aided navigation. Information can be found in the section Understanding the Ocean
Began with Voyaging for Trade and Exploratio
