Detailed explanation-1: -The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panamá) is an artificial 82 km (51 mi) waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean and divides North and South America. The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a conduit for maritime trade.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Panama Canal is a constructed waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans across the Isthmus of Panama. It is owned and administered by Panama, and it is 40 miles long from shoreline to shoreline.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Isthmus of Panama was chosen for the site of the canal because it is a very narrow strip of land between the two oceans. Although the canal was still a huge engineering project, this was the “easiest” place to build it.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1914, the Panama Canal opens, after ten years of construction, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
