Why did the traders prefer sea routes as compared to land routes? Tell in 2 points

Traders prefer sea routes as compared to land routes because ●large volumes can be shipped at low costs through sea routes ●The lack of safety and crossing great distances are considered as a plus factor in sea trading than overland trade routes. Using the sea lanes is much easier and faster than going through the traditional land routes, and also there is less restrictions, so even smugglers normally use the sea routes than the land routes.
