Also because of location, the routes traded different resources because of what was supplied and how fertile the land was. Trade occurred in the Trans-Atlantic and Indian Ocean route creating a diverse amount of goods.

The Trans-Atlantic trading system mainly took silver from deposits in Potosí, Bolivia, thus, creating a connection to the old and new world.

As a living laboratory Galapagos island have a rich scientific history! And today I am going to tell you the location, its brief history and what Charles Darwin’s discoveries on Galapagos island. The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles west of Ecuador, which is on the western coast of South America. Their first recorded discovery was on March 10, 1535, by Fray Tomas de Berlanga, who happened upon them accidentally while sailing from Panama to Peru.

idetify/explain one aspect of ESP that demonstrates a continuity or change which occured between the age of exploration/colonization and the early modern period The Age of Discovery, also known as the Age of Exploration, was a period in history starting in the early 15th century and continuing into the early 17th century during which Europeans engaged in intensive exploration of the world, establishing direct contacts with Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania and mapping the planet. Historians often refer to the 'Age of Discovery'[1][2] as the pioneer Portuguese and Spanish long-distance maritime travels in search of alternative trade routes to "the Indies", moved by the trade of gold, silver and spices. [3] In history, the early modern era of modern history follows the late Middle Ages. Historians refer to the period around 1500-1800. The events include the beginning of European colonialism, the rise of strong centralized governments, and the beginnings of recognizable nation-states that are the direct antecedents of today's states.
Access to commodities such as fabrics, spices, and gold motivated a European quest for a faster means to reach South Asia. It was this search that led the Portuguese down the coast of West Africa to Sierra Leone in 1460. Due to several technological and cultural advantages, Portugal dominated world trade for nearly 200 years, from the fifteenth to the sixteenth centuries. While, in the fifteenth century, the rest of Europe was decimated by the Black Plague, Portugal was protected by its physical isolation. Additionally, Portugal had an unusually strong national identity, due to its natural geographic borders, allowing the pooling of the considerable economic resources necessary to fund these ambitious explorations.
