Describe the improvements for transportation in the westward expansion during the early 1800s?
During the initial westward expansion (into the early 19th century), from the eastern seaboard over the eastern mountains into Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Ohio Country, people walked and some used wagons drawn by horses, mules or oxen. Then, during the first half of the 19th century, as canals were built and the expansion westward reached land where the rivers also flowed westward, waterborne transportation became important, still supplemented by wagons and walking. This was the era of the canalboat, flatboat and keelboat, as well as of the steamboat. In the second half of the 19th century and for expansion west of the Mississippi, walking, wagons, and water (to a lesser extent) were the primary means of transportation until the railroads began to be built out. During the later 19th century, rail became the primary mode of transportation over longer distances. During the first half of the 20th century, automobiles (and trucks) began to supplement rail and eventually took over as the primary mode of transportation. In the second half of the 20th century, airplanes became an important element in transportation of both people and goods.

What was the Northwest Passage How did the Treaty of 1818 affect the settlement of Oregon Country What other treaties paved the way for westward expansion?

The Treaty of 1818 between the US and Britain allowed for joint occupancy of the Oregon Country, delaying resolution to territorial disputes between the two nations. Other treaties that paved the way for westward expansion include the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War and ceded a large portion of Mexican territory to the US, and the Louisiana Purchase treaty in 1803, which doubled the size of the US.
What is Anomalous expansion of water?
The expansion of water when it is cooled from four degree centigrade to zero degree centigrade is known as "anomalous expansion of water." The unusual behaviour of water, when it expands below 4° celsius to 0° is called anmalus expansion of water.
How does heat affect the density of water?
As water is heated, its density decreases. When water molecules are heated, they gain energy and move around more, causing the molecules to spread out and the water to expand. This expansion leads to a decrease in density.
Does density affect water temp?
No, density does not directly affect water temperature. Water temperature is primarily influenced by factors such as sunlight, air temperature, and geothermal heat. However, changes in temperature can lead to changes in water density due to thermal expansion or contraction.
Was land transportation cheaper then water transportation in 1815?
