When did the first woman fly across the Atlantic Ocean?
On May 20, 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, and landed the next day in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
More specifically...In answer to the question "as written," Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic in June of 1928...as a passenger. From www.acepilots.com, "The pilots, Wilmer Stutz and Louis Gordon, were all but forgotten in the media frenzy surrounding the first woman to fly across the Atlantic." As the first answer cites above, she then went on to become the first woman to fly "solo" across the Atlantic when she accomplished that feat in 1932. Hope that helps clear things up.Another Reference Source: "Aviation; The Early Years" by Peter Almond, which is full of great photographs from the early aviation days.

What was the trip taken by slaves across the anlantic ocean called?
The trip taken by slaves across the Atlantic Ocean was called the Middle Passage. It was the second leg of the triangular trade route, which also included trade between Europe and Africa, and between the Americas and Europe. The Middle Passage was a horrific journey, and many slaves died from disease, malnutrition, and abuse.
Here are some of the conditions that slaves faced during the Middle Passage:
They were packed tightly into the holds of ships, often with no more than 6 square feet of space per person.
They were chained together, and they were not allowed to move around freely.
They were given very little food and water, and they were often forced to drink their own urine.
They were exposed to disease, and many died from illnesses such as cholera, dysentery, and yellow fever.
They were often beaten and abused by the crew of the ship.
The Middle Passage was a long and dangerous journey, and it is estimated that between 10 and 20 million Africans died during the voyage. Those who survived the Middle Passage were then forced to work as slaves in the Americas.
The Middle Passage was a dark chapter in human history, and it is important to remember the suffering that millions of Africans endured during this period.

Why did the mi'kmaq settle in the Atlantic?
North America was populated from the Northwest corner, down the West Coast and then across the continent towards Florida. The northern edge of this population expansion was limited by the Ice Sheet that was melting back due to global warming.
People would of course want to stay in the best areas, such as the North West Coastal areas but to do so they would have had to fight for it. There was a relatively constant flow of other people from Asia, and of increased North American population. These pressures forced people to fight if the wanted to stay and others to decide it was better to move on, deeper into the interior.
The Micmac and other tribes in the area were pushing the upper north east edge of habitable land. Habitable using their culture and technology. Further north other cultures like the Thule and Dorset would be better suited for the ice and cold that limited northward expansion by other cultures like the Micmac.
The Atlantic region of Canada was the last good supply of food and resources for such cultures. Migrations are not determined by climate as it was in the past, otherwise the Micmac and others would continue adjusting their territory based on climate and military power.
The Micmac settled in the Atlantic Region because it gave the resources and food they needed to be able to militarily defend their territory and to prosper. Which they did very well.

How do black smokers under the sea form?
In some areas along the Mid- Ocean Ridge, the gigantic plates that form the Earth's crust are moving apart, creating crack and crevices in the ocean floor. Seawater seeps into these openings and id heated by the molten rock, or magma, that lies beneath the Earth's crust. As the water is heated, it rises and seeks a path back out into the ocean through an opening in the seafloor.
Cape Cod is a prominent mass of land jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, at the very east of the northeastern US state of Massachusetts.
