Question:

The Big Trunk Route runs through which of the following?

Options:

The North Atlantic Ocean

The Mediterranean - Indian Ocean

The South Atlantic Ocean

The South Pacific Ocean

Correct Answer:

The North Atlantic Ocean

Explanation:

The Northern Atlantic Sea Route: This links North-eastern U.S.A. and Northwestern 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. Both the coasts have highly advanced ports and harbour facilities.
