getting throgh the 2 contenents Along with that, there was also many more issues. There were diseases such as Yellow Fever and Malaria. Many labrorers died in the making of the canal because of things like this. Other than those things, removing rocks took some time and effort. They had to sometimes remove the rocks by hand or machine but they could also blow them up. They set explosions to remove rocks that were in their way.

When you choose an employer, you might value communication and respect. You might also value high fast you can advance and the work culture in the environment.

No. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west everywhere on Earth. it does appear to be more southerly or northerly depending upon your latitude.

The above is true; however, the sun does appear to rise over the Pacific Ocean and set over the Atlantic Ocean at the ends of the canal.

This answer is wrong although the author gets a little of it right, sort of. I have no idea what the second author is trying to say.

First let me, like the first author, say it depends on your latitude. Let me correct the author's statement in his/her second paragraph. The sun does rise in the east and set in the west if you are standing on the equator (0 degrees latitude) The sun rise doesn't appear to move south or north; it actually does move to a more northerly or more southerly point on the horizon, depending on your latitude and the time of year.

Anyone who has visited an extreme northern clime, let's say Fairbanks, (63 degrees north) has seen the sun set in the east for months at a time. But even most Alaskans don't think about it. It is hard to imagine but if you ever see it, or see a video of it you will understand. This phenomenon is what causes the midnight sun in Alaska.

At certain times of the year, near the summer solstice, the sun rises in the east like we all expect it to. It climbs to its zenith in the west then comes back down and sets in the east, very near the point it set.

That distance between the point on the horizon where the sun sets and rises moves further apart each day so that on the equinox the sun travels directly over head, 12 hours of sun up 12 hours of darkness.

Still not convinced? Think about this. If you are standing on the North Pole, in the summer season, the sun doesn't rise or set in the east or the west.

My suggestion is you stop using sites like this to get your knowledge. Go to a site that lists sunrise and sunset times for any place on the globe for any day of the year.

So now I will ask you, does the sun ever rise in the west?

The business end- show me the money! Close the Emergency doors, err, lock gates.

If you are asking about the mass of workers from the West Indies, they went to Panama because there were well-paid jobs there.

The United States assisted in a Panamanian revolt against Columbia and Panama became an independent country.

Before the United States could begin building the Panama Canal, other countries had tried but failed primarily due to the terrain. The land was very swampy, which is a great breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carried the disease malaria, which infected and killed many workers. The US drained the swamps to eliminate this issue.

Panama is located in Central America between Colombia and Costa Rica. It is the only country in North America to border South America.

A flight from Vancouver, Canada to the Panama Canal in Panama would take about 8 hours. There is approximately 3,722 miles between the two locations.

John Hay supported the Open Door Policy and the building of the Panama Canal.

Vasco Nunez de Balboa was a Spanish explorer and navigator. He and his crew were the first Europeans that crossed the Isthmus of Panama, in the year 1513. He also was the founder of the first European settlement in America.

For accurate information on the process check on this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/563220.stm Other then that, the U.S. officially exchanged control with the government of Panama on December 31st, 1999, at Noon. It had been in the process of being done for over twenty years, and it was done by President Jimmy Carter.

no

The Cape Cod Canal sees dozens of vessels pass through each day. The canal is a shortcut that leads from the Cape Cod Bay to Buzzards Bay.

It was built in the narrowest part of the isthmus. The existence of Gatun Lake was also a factor and eliminated a lot of digging. It was both shorter across and relatively low, requiring fewer locks to be built.

It traveled from north to south or from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

It depends, they can connect to mountains.

people got smashed and fell down and broke there legs. sad right

The land was mostly lakes and swamps already. It was just a matter of turning all the lakes, swamps and clearing the jungle/mountains from sea to sea to form a usable canal.

The Panama Canal is an example of imperialism. Theodore Roosevelt gave 20 million dollars to rebels in Panama to separate from Colombia. Colombia had refused to allow the US to make a canal. The US has invaded Panama when we did not like Manuel Noriega. Basically the US has treated Panama as a child that the US can discipline at will.

Theodore Roosevelt was the president who was most responsible for the building of the Panama Canal. He engineered a revolution in Panama which made it possible for the US take over the canal from the French who had begun the project. Work continued throughout Taft's term and it finally opened for business in 1914 when Woodrow Wilson was President.

It can be said that the Panama Canal has benefited every country in Central America because the Panama Canal provides a way to go through North America and South America. If it wasn't there, you would have to go around South America to get past North or South America by boat.
