Question

The Panama Canal connects ___________.
A. The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans
B. The Pacific and Arctic Oceans
C. The Atlantic and Arctic Oceans
D. The Atlantic and Indian Oceans

Answer 1

Hint: It is the second-biggest of the world's seas. It covers roughly $20\% $ of Earth's surface and around $29\% $ of its water surface zone. It is the biggest and most profound of Earth's maritime divisions, it stretches out from the Arctic Ocean in the north toward the Southern Ocean in the south.

Complete answer:
The Pacific Ocean is the biggest and most profound of Earth's maritime divisions. It reaches out from the Arctic Ocean in the north toward the Southern Ocean (or, contingent upon definition, to Antarctica) in the south. The Galápagos and Gilbert Islands, while riding the equator, are considered completely inside the South Pacific. It is known to isolate the "Old World" from the "New World" in the European impression of the World.

The Atlantic Ocean possesses a stretched, S-formed bowl expanding longitudinally among Europe and Africa toward the east, and the Americas toward the west. As one segment of the interconnected World Ocean, it is associated in the north to the Arctic Ocean, to the Pacific Ocean in the southwest, the Indian Ocean in the southeast, and the Southern Ocean in the south (different definitions depict the Atlantic as stretching out toward the south to Antarctica). The Atlantic Ocean is isolated into two sections, by the Equatorial Counter Current, with the North(ern) the Atlantic Ocean and the South(ern) the Atlantic Ocean at about $8^\circ {\text{N}}$.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note: The Panama Canal is a developed stream that interfaces the Atlantic and Pacific seas over the Isthmus of Panama.
