Question:

Which of the following sea route is called the Big Trunk Route?

Options:

The Northern Atlantic Sea Route

The Southern Atlantic Sea Route

The Cape of Good Hope 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 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.
