Why couldn't sailing explorers from Europe and Asia sail directly along the latitude that cuts across the middle of the North Atlantic or North Pacific to get to America?
W) Wind and water currents do not flow directly along the latitude that cuts across the middle of these oceans
X) Winds blow so hard near the middle of the ocean that it is impossible to maintain a straight course
Y) Near the center of the oceans, the winds often blow in one direction, while the water currents flow in the opposite direction, making it difficult to traverse
Z) The currents are so strong in the middle of the gyres that it is difficult to sail through them
