    Explanation:
    • This canal connects the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It has been constructed across the Panama Isthmus between Panama City and Colon by the U.S. government which purchased 8 km of an area on either side and named it the Canal Zone.
    • It shortens the distance between New York (West Coast of USA) and San Francisco (East Coast of USA) by 13,000 km by sea.
    • Likewise, the distance between Western Europe and the West-coast of the U.S.A.; and Northeastern and Central U.S.A. and East and South-east Asia is shortened.
