Why are gravel roads called metal roads?
In thisinstance the word metal means stone.The English word comes from Latin metallum, a mine or quarry. So a metal was anything useful that had been extracted from the ground. Since most of the substances men searched for were what we now call metals (gold, silver, tin, copper, and the like), the shift of sense is easy to understand. The old sense survived for another class of substances that were likewise extracted from the ground. Historically, these have included sand, clay, rock and earthen matter in general. Near the end of the eighteenth century, the word started to be used in particular for the crushed rock that formed part of the system of building a sealed and waterproof road surface pioneered by the Scots engineer John McAdam. It’s from that specific use of the word that the term road metal derives.
Why did Christopher Columbus searched for a western route to Asia?
Because he wanted to find a short and easy route to the East's spices and other treasures. But he badly miscalculated how long the trip would be. His Bible was a map that located the coast of China a little west of California and he added to the mistake made there by estimating the size of the globe (and so, the distance to that point) at 25% less than it really was. So he thought that it would be a 3,500 miles-long trip to China and India instead of the more than 22,000 miles it really was. At the time, the true size and shape of the globe was exactly known, so it really was a stupid mistake by Columbus. It was even pointed out to him by Portuguese navigation experts, but he refused to believe them. In the end, it was pure luck that got him to bump into the Carribean islands before his provisions ran out.
