Question:
Which canal connects Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea?
Options:
Red Canal
Grand Canal
Panama Canal
Suez Canal
Correct Answer:
Suez Canal
Explanation:
Suez canal had been constructed in 1869 in Egypt between Port Said in the north and Port Suez in the south linking the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It gives Europe a new gateway to the Indian Ocean and reduces direct sea-route distance between Liverpool and Colombo compared to the Cape of Good Hope route.
