trans - saharan trade network
indian ocean trade network
mediterranean trade network
east asia routes
write the numbers of the correct trade routes (that you filled in above) next to their descriptions below.

1. connect the black sea to baltic sea (through russia)
2. connected china in the far east to the mediterranean basin
3. connected west africa to northeast africa - across the desert
4. maritime trade route from india to africa
5. river and ocean trade in europe; also connecting europe, africa and asia
6. trade routes that also existed in east asia

Explanation:

1. The route connecting the Black Sea to Baltic Sea (through Russia) is the Northern European links to the Black Sea, which is number 3 on the map.
2. The Silk Road connected China in the Far East to the Mediterranean Basin, and it is number 5 on the map.
3. The Trans - Saharan Trade Network connected West Africa to Northeast Africa across the desert. From the map, the Trans - Saharan Trade Network is number 1.
4. The Indian Ocean Trade Network is the maritime trade route from India to Africa. But there is no number filled for the Indian Ocean Trade Network in the initial mapping. However, if we assume the mapping is correct as per the first table (where Silk Road is 5, Mediterranean Trade Network is 4, Trans - Saharan is 1, East Asia routes is 6), and since the Indian Ocean Trade Network is not filled, but if we consider the description "maritime trade route from India to Africa", and looking at the map, there is no number filled for it in the first table. But if we assume the first table is correct as per the user's initial fill (Silk Road = 5, Mediterranean = 4, Trans - Saharan = 1, East Asia = 6), and since the Indian Ocean Trade Network is a major trade route in the Indian Ocean area (not filled in the first table's numbers, but if we assume the map's numbering: if we consider the regions, the Indian Ocean Trade Network would be related to the area around the Indian sub - continent. But since in the first table, the user may have made an error (maybe the number for Indian Ocean Trade Network is 2, but the user didn't fill it. But based on the first table fill (user filled Silk Road = 5, Mediterranean = 4, Trans - Saharan = 1, East Asia = 6), and if we assume the map: 1 - Trans - Saharan (matches), 4 - Mediterranean (matches as a trade network in the Mediterranean area which connects Europe, Africa and Asia), 5 - Silk Road (matches), 6 - East Asia (matches). For the Indian Ocean Trade Network (maritime from India to Africa), if we assume the map's number 2 (though the user didn't fill it in the first table, but based on the region), but since the user's first table has some fills: maybe it's a mistake. But if we go by the standard trade routes: Trans - Saharan (1), Silk Road (5), Mediterranean (4), East Asia (6), Northern European links (3). For the Indian Ocean Trade Network (maritime from India to Africa), if we assume the map's number 2 (as it's in the Indian sub - continent area).
5. The Mediterranean Trade Network (number 4) is a river and ocean trade in Europe and connects Europe, Africa and Asia.
6. The East Asia routes (number 6) are the trade routes that also existed in East Asia.

Answer:

1. \(3\)
2. \(5\)
3. \(1\)
4. \(2\) (assuming based on region, as the user may have missed filling it in the first table but it's a major trade route in that area)
5. \(4\)
6. \(6\)
