Question 5

The frequent fogs that contribute to shipping hazards along the coast of the Atlantic Periphery are most often caused by
A)The interaction of a warm ocean current with cold air masses.
B)The cooling of land after sunset which causes condensation in the air.
C)Winds blowing up a slope causing cooling and condensation.
D)Cold air settling into valleys while warmer air passes over.

The frequent fogs are caused by the interaction of a warm ocean current, the Gulf Stream, with the cold air masses from the Labrador Current. The warm and moist air from the Gulf Stream creates a stark temperature difference, leading to the formation of fogs.

While Nor'easters can occur at any time during the winter months, they are most common between January and March along the East Coast of the United States.

Based on Norse folklore and archeological evidence,which of the following was most likely cause of the abandonment of the settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows?
A)Conflict with local Native Americans
B)Settlers were starving
C)Disease
D)Conflict with British settlers

Accepted Answer

Archeological evidence suggests that conflict with the local Native American population may have led to the eventual abandonment of L'Anse aux Meadows. The settlement's walls and defensive structures suggest that the Norse settlers were on edge and possibly fearful of attack from the indigenous people in the area. Additionally, Norse sagas describe skirmishes and battles with the Skraelings, the Norse term for the Native American people they encountered. Starvation and disease would not explain the defensive structures and conflicts described in the sagas, and there is no evidence of conflict with British settlers as the settlement predates any known British presence in the region.

D)Both B and C
E)All of the above

Accepted Answer

The end of French political control over the region (option A) created more opportunities for British settlement. The growing tensions in the 13 colonies of the United States (option B) made some British settlers seek out new opportunities in the Atlantic Periphery. The promise of free land (option C) also attracted many British settlers to the region. Therefore, options B and C, as well as A, all contributed to the rush of British settlement in the Atlantic Periphery after 1763.

Which of the following are examples of environmental hazards that commonly disrupt transportation in the Atlantic Periphery?
A)Heavy winter snowfall

C)Flooding
D)Both A and B
E)Both B and C

Accepted Answer

Heavy winter snowfall and fogs are common environmental hazards that disrupt transportation in the Atlantic Periphery. Flooding may also disrupt transportation, but it is not as common as heavy snowfall and fogs. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it includes both the common environmental hazards.

There is no historical evidence suggesting that many people of African descent came as refugees from West Africa during the 20th century. Most of the Black Nova Scotians are descendants of African-American loyalists or escaped slaves who arrived in the late 18th or early 19th century. Some Afro-Caribbean people have migrated to Nova Scotia in recent decades, but they do not make up the majority of the province's Black population.

Accepted Answer

The Great Expulsion or Great Upheaval refers to the forced migration of French settlers out of Acadia during the French and Indian War. This resulted in many Acadians being separated from their families and homes and sent to various British colonies in North America, including Louisiana. It is estimated that around 10,000 Acadians were expelled from their homes during this period.
