In what ways did cross-cultural interactions result in the diffusion of technology and how the technology influences trade? en-us 2022-01-06 16:44:29 UTC 2025-06-01 17:30:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f98d.png 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1979149567 One example of cross-cultural interactions spawning innovation was the invention of the lateen sail. It is a triangle-shaped sail invented and mainly used by Arab sailors (also Europeans) along on the Indian Ocean. The reason this sail was so groundbreaking was because older square-shaped sails could only move in one direction with the wind, while the lateen could move in any.]]> 2022-01-06 17:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1979149567 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980942267 Along with the lateen sail came ship innovations.

The compass is the primary direction finding device. Discovered in the 12th century by China and Europe, it uses either magnets or a gyroscope (a Muslim invention) to find direction. The magnets in the compass work with Earth's magnetic field. Since the magnetic field runs parallel with Earth's vertical axis, the magnets follow whichever direction you're facing.]]> 2022-01-07 18:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980962181 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980965273 2022-01-07 18:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980965273 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980966735 2022-01-07 18:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980966735 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980967662 2022-01-07 18:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980967662 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980968464 2022-01-07 18:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980968464 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980971050 2022-01-07 18:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1980971050 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1985388226 Astronomical charts, which are maps of stars and galaxies, were one of the improvements in cartography that bettered navigation. Prior to the invention of the compass, these were mariners' main source of direction finding. The existence of astronomical charts date way back to the 2nd millennium BCE in Babylonia and Mesopotamia, but were also seen throughout late years with Chinese and Greek astronomers.]]> 2022-01-11 06:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1985388226 581303 https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1985388942 2022-01-11 06:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/581303/c8tju3s3xgrqkgjv/wish/1985388942
