Question

Label the following map of Asian trade networks correctly:

A) Coastal Central Eastern
B) Arab Indian Chinese
C) Neutral Shared Blocked
D) African Atlantic Pacific

Answer 1

The map labels likely refer to historical Asian trade networks, which should be named according to the key routes established over centuries: the Indian Ocean network, Silk Road network, and the Trans-Saharan network, comprising trade routes that connected East Africa, Arabia, India, China, and Central Asia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the historical context provided, we can infer that the student's mapping question relates to the extensive trade networks that developed in Asia and connected various regions. Since labels A, B, C, and D are not directly tied to historical trade network terminology, this may be an error in the question, as historical trade networks would more accurately be labeled as follows:

• Indian Ocean Network: Connecting the East African Coast to Arabia, India, and Southeast Asia.
• Silk Road Network: Stretching from China through Central Asia to the Mediterranean and encompassing additional trade routes.
• Trans-Saharan Network: Linking North Africa with Sub-Saharan regions.

The correct labeling of the student's map should likely reflect the historical networks that existed in these regions such as the Indian Ocean trade network, Silk Road, and Trans-Saharan trade routes based on the context provided.
