Why was exploration a major goal for governments?

ANSWER:

Exploration helped the countries to find new lands and new shipping and trading routes to further increase their global dominance over trade and commerce. Hence exploration was a major goal for the governments.

EXPLANATION:

During the 15th century, various countries and governments started exploring new lands and trading routes to grow their commercial business. The British Empire, Spain, and Portugal began navigating and exploring across the world through the oceans and the government would pay these navigators to explore and discover new lands. It was a challenge among the countries and their governments on who would find the best route for trading. This marked a new age for navigating on the oceans and various new technologies such as the compass were invented during the age of exploration. North America, India, Australia, and other notable countries were discovered as a new land by the navigators during this period.

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.
