Question:
Which of the following sea route is called as Big Trunk Route?
Options:
The Mediterranean Sea Route
The Northern Atlantic Sea Route
The Southern Atlantic Sea Route
The North Pacific Sea Route
Correct Answer:
The Northern Atlantic Sea Route
Explanation:
The Northern Atlantic Sea Route: This links North-eastern U.S.A. and North western Europe, the two industrially developed regions of the world. The foreign trade over this route is greater than that of the rest of the world combined. One fourth of the world’s foreign trade moves on this route. It is, therefore, the busiest in the world and otherwise, called the Big Trunk Route.
