Use the map to answer the question.

A blank world map shows outlines of all the continents, along with latitude lines of 60 degrees north, 30 degrees north, zero degrees, 30 degrees south, and 60 degrees south. A scale shows 3000 miles and 3000 kilometers.

Suppose you developed a map similar to the map shown with a legend showing the geographic origins of silk, spices, cotton, and porcelain. Where would these goods be placed on the map?

Answer 1

To accurately place the goods on the map based on their geographic origins, let's analyze the correct pairs:

1. Silk originates from China.
2. Spices primarily come from Southeast Asia (notably countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines).
3. Cotton is produced in several regions, including India, the Nile Basin (Egypt), and parts of Central America.
4. Porcelain is also a product that originated in China.

With this information, the correct response matching these origins is:

Good: Geographic Origin

• Silk: China
• Spices: Southeast Asia
• Cotton: India, the Nile Basin, and Central America
• Porcelain: China

Therefore, select the option:

Good Geographic Origin

• Silk: China
• Spices: Southeast Asia
• Cotton: India, the Nile Basin, and Central America
• Porcelain: China
