What are facts about the Erie Canal?
The Suez Canal, being a sea-level canal does not use locks. The Suez canal did have movable traffic-control bridges that spanned the entrances to control traffic but these were not, strictly speaking locks. It is by far the longest big-ship canal in the Western world- there are some big canals in both Russia and China.
What did the engineer use in order to raise and lower large vessels through the Panama Canal?
Canal Locks , of course, there are several series of these on the Panama Canal the Miraflores locks, the Pedro Miguel locks, etc. Vessels are towed throgh the locks byelectric locomotives called mules, these wee originally built by General Electric and are narrow gauge. there are rack projections so they can cope with steep grades between the locks.
Why did engineers need to use locks on the Erie Canal?
Because of water's nature to flow downhill and a canal's need to maintain a more or less constant depth, it has to maintain a relatively level course despite crossing land which changes in elevation. Therefore a canal has to "stair-step" its way over variations in terrain through locks which raise and lower boats to the changing levels of the canal's course.
Why did the Panama Canal need locks?
There are locks at each end of the Panama Canal that raise ships some 85 feet above sea level. The options to construct the canal were to either dig the canal down to sea level for the entire length or use locks to allow the canal height to be more in line with the natural terrain through which it passes. Although the locks are technically more complex than simply cutting a channel, they reduced the work required dramatically and caused less damage to the surrounding land.

How many locks have been constructed on the panama canal?
The "Locks" are long narrow chambers with gates at each end that lock the water in. A ship goes into a chamber, the gates are closed and water is pumped in or out to raise or lower the ship to a new level. The Panama Canal has three sets of Locks. The Gatun locks are on the Caribbean side. Ships go into the locks at sea level. The gate is closed. Water is pumped in and the ship rises to the level of Lake Gatun. The ship sails across the lake and the canal and enters the Pedro Miguel Locks where it is raised again. It sails across the canal and enters the Miraflores locks where it is lowered to the Pacific Ocean's sea level. Reference: ADDED: It is not usual to pump water uphill on a canal, and it is never pumped downhill. That's what gravity's for! Normally a canal above sea-level is designed not to need no pumping because it can be kept topped up from streams flowing off land higher than its highest reaches; though if these natural sources are reduced or lost then pumping would be necessary. The problem facing the Panama Canal is of the highland streams being reduced by land use such as deforesting.

Yes.
Why do ships need to use locks?
Ships need to use locks when navigating through canals or waterways with varying water levels to accommodate changes in elevation. Locks help raise or lower vessels between different water levels, allowing them to pass through the waterway safely and efficiently.
