The eastern hemisphere contains approximately 60% water, while the Western Hemisphere has around 47% water. These percentages account for oceans, seas, and other bodies of water relative to land areas. The disparity is mainly due to the distribution of oceans, with the Pacific Ocean dominating the eastern hemisphere.

Which of the aspects of location do you think was most important for Rome's success?

Rome was on seven hills. Hills were easier to defend from raids. Rome was on the only ford river Tiber, which runs east-west from the mountains to the east of Rome to the coast to14 miles to its west. This made Rome the main north-south communication point in the region. Being inland, it was safe from naval raids. The nearby mountains had abundant water sources. The Romans brought the water to the city by building aqueducts. As Rome expanded into the Mediterranean Sea, Italy provided a favourable location. It lies in the middle of this sea, between its western and eastern basins. This made it easier to control both the western and eastern Mediterranean.

What country was responsible for beginning the slave trade between western Africa and Europe?

Africa was in the slave trade long before "Europe" even existed. Trading and selling to other African and Middle Eastern nations. Egypt had slaves 4,000 years ago, so did the Middle East. Vikings didn't, unless they kept a few captured enemies as water boys or milk maids, it wasn't to their advantage to have slaves.


Why did europeans seek a western route to Asia?

Because the Ottoman Empire had taken control of the Eastern Land Routes to asia. Portugal DID find an all water route that went east, it went around the southern tip of Africa. Columbus wanted to go west. But don't think Columbus was a hero for accidentally discovering the Americas. He also cut off the hands of the Natives that did not bring gold back to him. He was a lucky and savage man.
