Question:

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

Options:

North Pacific Sea Route

Northen Atlantic Sea Route

Cape of Good Hope Sea Route

Southern Atlantic Sea Route

Correct Answer:

Northen Atlantic Sea Route

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Northen 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.
