The geographic feature that made it more likely for a slave in Missouri to escape to Michigan rather than New York is the proximity and accessibility of the Great Lakes. Michigan shares a border with Canada, providing a more direct route to freedom via the Underground Railroad. In contrast, New York is further east and requires a more complicated journey across multiple states. Additionally, the presence of abolitionist communities in Michigan offered additional support for escaping slaves.

What geographic feature of Europe was most important in encouraging some Eastern European peoples to migrate into the Roman empire?

The Visigoths asked the Romans to be allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of their empire to escape the invasion of their homeland, Ukraine, by the Huns. The river Rhine was the frontier of the Roman Empire. However, the strength of the Roman army as a protector was as important as this geographical feature. No geographical feature in particular was important in encouraging the Vandals, Alans and Seves to invade Gaul in search of new lands. There was a population squeeze in central Europe which was created by the invasion of eastern Europe by the Huns. West was the only onward way and that is where the western part of the Romans Empire was.

How do you get out of a submarine?

To enter or exit (or escape from) a submarine you must locate a hatch in the pressure hull. There is usually a hatch near the bow, the stern, and amidships, and each is set atop a feature called an escape trunk. The escape trunk is a small "compartment" with an inner hatch, and it is set up to provide a way to "lock out" a group of submariners that is making an emergency exit under water. A torpedo tube might also be used to escape.
