Question: Who fathered the leader of the first expedition that reached the continent mentioned, by sailing west across the region providing the warm moist air mass over the Andes in Argentina?

The Portuguese Vasco da Gama, accompanied by Nicolau Coelho and Bartolomeu Dias, is the first European to reach India by an all - sea route from Europe. <SEP> Gender influences the pattern of child labor. Girls tend to be asked by their families to perform more domestic work in their parental home than boys are, and often at younger ages than boys. Employment as a paid domestic worker is the most common form of child labor for girls. In some places, such as East and Southeast Asia, parents often see work as a domestic servant as a good preparation for marriage. Domestic service, however, is among the least regulated of all professions, and exposes workers to serious risks, such as violence, exploitation and abuse by the employers, because the workers are often isolated from the outside world. Child labor has a very negative effect on education. Girls either stop their education, or, when they continue it, they are often subjected to a double burden, or a triple burden of work outside the home, housework in the parental home, and schoolwork. This situation is common in places such as parts of Asia and Latin America. <SEP> frank bursley taylor (1860 – 1938) was an american geologist, the son of a lawyer in fort wayne, indiana. he was a harvard dropout who studied privately financed in large part by his wealthy father. he became a specialist in the glacial geology of the great lakes, and proposed to the geological society of america on december 29, 1908 that the continents moved on the earth's surface, that a shallow region in the atlantic marks where africa and south america were once joined, and that the collisions of continents could uplift mountains. his ideas were based on his studies on mountain ranges as the andes, rockies, alps and himalayas, concluding that these mountains could have been formed only as a result of titanic lateral pressures that thrust the earth's surface upward. <SEP> the hoel mountains are a group of mountains including the weyprecht mountains and the payer mountains in queen maud land, antarctica. they were first photographed from the air and plotted by the third german antarctic expedition (1938–39), mapped by norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the sixth norwegian antarctic expedition (1956–60) and named for adolf hoel, a norwegian geologist and arctic explorer, leader and member of many expeditions to greenland and spitsbergen since 1907. <SEP> Although the centre and the eastern parts of the country are mostly flat, the west is mountainous. Both the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas affect the climate of Argentina, leading to differences in temperature, pressure, and spatial distribution of precipitation depending on the topography and altitude. Here, the Andes exert an important influence on the climate. Thus, much of Argentina north of 40 S is dominated by wind circulation patterns from the South Atlantic High. Owing to the higher altitudes of the Andes north of 40 S, they completely block the normal westerly flow, preventing low pressure systems containing moisture from the Pacific Ocean from coming in. South of 40 S, the Andes are lower in altitude, allowing much of Patagonia to be dominated by westerly winds and air masses from the Pacific Ocean. However, the north -- south orientation of the Andes creates a barrier for humid air masses originating from the Pacific Ocean. This is because they force these air masses upwards, cooling adiabactically. Most of the moisture is dropped on the Chilean side, causing abundant precipitation and cloudiness while on the Argentine side, the air warms adiabatically, causing it to become drier as it descends. Thus, an extensive rain -- shadow is present in much of Patagonia, causing it to receive very little precipitation. The Sierras Pampeanas influences the climate on a much smaller scale than the Andes. <SEP> He rose in the ranks of the military Order of Santiago. Estêvão da Gama was appointed "alcaide-mór" (civil governor) of Sines in the 1460s, a post he held until 1478; after that he continued as a receiver of taxes and holder of the Order's commendas in the region. Vasco da Gama's father was Estêvão da Gama, who had served in the 1460s as a knight of the household of Infante Ferdinand, Duke of Viseu.
