It provides a way for overland travel from the Lake Victoria to the Red Sea. B. It extends across the continent from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. C. It provides a way for overland travel from the Congo River to the Red Sea.

The correct answer is B) It extends across the continent from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

The Sahel is located close to the Sahara but travel is easier and the climate is not as hot. The location of the Sahel encouraged the development of trade routes because it extends across the continent from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

West Africa can be divided into five different belts or regions, depending on the weather and the vegetation. Up north is the Sahra region, followed by the Sahel, Sudan, Guinean, and Guinea-Congolian. The Sahel is the region that starts on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Senegal and runs through Sudan and the Red Sea. Its climate and much less hot temperatures facilitated trade routes for merchants that considered impossible to cross the Sahara due to extreme weather conditions.

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
