Answer:

Answer Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Culture and religion were also exchanged on the Trans-Saharan Trade Route. Many West African states eventually adopted Arabic writing and the religion of North Africa, resulting in them being absorbed into the Muslim world. Also Ghana and Mali were both located at the center of the Trans-Saharan trade routes. Gold and salt were two of the most valuable resources traded. By controlling trade and taxing traders, the empires of Ghana and Mali became wealthy and powerful. The Trans-Saharan trade routes also spread Islam throughout Africa.
