WRITE AN ESSAY ON THE VOYAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. NOT MORE THSAN 200 WORDS, INCLUDE TREATMENT OF THE SLAVES AND THE ROLE OF THE EUROPEANS ON BOARD.
Answers
Explanation:
European explorer traveling across the Atlantic during the colonial period. It took Hudson more than two months to sail from Amsterdam to New York City on his sailing ship, the Half Moon. A modern ocean liner, such as the Queen Mary 2, makes the trip from Europe in seven days. By plane, the trip is less than an 8-hour flight. Look at a calendar and mark the number of weeks, days, and hours for each trip, using a different colored marker for each increment of time. Help students write the length of time for each mode of transportation on their worksheets. Then pick a departure date and have students count how many days the voyage will take for each of the different transportation modes. Have students add this number to their maps.
5. Have a whole-class discussion about crossing the Atlantic, then and now.
Have a whole-class discussion. Ask:
If the two boats and the plane were in a race, which would win? Which would come in second? Which would finish last? Have students number each of the three modes of transportation on their worksheets with 1 being the fastest and 3 the slowest. (1-plane; 2-modern ocean liner; 3-sailing ship)
How was the Half Moon powered? (Wind filled the sails, which moved the ship across the ocean.)
Explanation:
Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest of the world's oceans, with an area of about 106,460,000 km2 (41,100,000 sq mi).[2][3] It covers approximately 20 percent of Earth's surface and about 29 percent of its water surface area. It is known to separate the "Old World" from the "New World" in the European perception of the World.

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the ISS. The pass starts from just northeast of the island of Newfoundland over the North Atlantic Ocean to central Africa, over South Sudan.
The Atlantic Ocean occupies an elongated, S-shaped basin extending longitudinally between Europe and Africa to the east, and the Americas to the west. As one component of the interconnected World Ocean, it is connected in the north to the Arctic Ocean, to the Pacific Ocean in the southwest, the Indian Ocean in the southeast, and the Southern Ocean in the south (other definitions describe the Atlantic as extending southward to Antarctica). The Atlantic Ocean is divided into two parts, by the Equatorial Counter Current, with the North(ern) Atlantic Ocean and the South(ern) Atlantic Ocean at about 8°N.[6]
Scientific explorations of the Atlantic include the Challenger expedition, the German Meteor expedition, Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the United States Navy Hydrographic Office.[6]
