What was the effect of the Erie Canal?
The Erie Canal helped spread America's people, and wealth, and a more modern way of life. The Canal helped connect the cities of the East coast (like New York City) with "frontier" towns like Buffalo, which was over 400 miles west of NYC. The Erie Canal joined the St. Lawrence river in connecting the shipping lanes of the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean (not directly, but mostly, with some required transfers of the goods to wagons). The Erie Canal was built before long-distance railroad lines were built across the same territory. The railroads came some 30 or 40 years later.

Referring to the Panama Canal - What is a lock?
It is a system of gates to allow ships to move up or down from 1 level to another. The vessel moves into the lock & water is allowed to either leave or enter the lock to change the level, when the water equalizes to the new level, either up or down, then the next gate can be opned to allow the vessel to move on. Because the levels in the Red Sea & the Meditteranean are the same there was no need for a lock system in the Suez canal.
How are ships raised and lowered in Panama Canal?
To raise or lower ships passing through the Panama Canal (a similar process is applied to any kind of ships passing through any canal) we use "locks". You've seen diagrams of an "air lock" in a spacecraft; a chamber that the astronauts can enter, and air is added or removed, and then go through the other door. The original "locks" do the same thing, only with water. A vessel enters the lock through the gate at one end. The gate is closed, and water is pumped into the lock. As the water level is raised, the ship is lifted. When the water in the lock matches the water level in the next leg of the canal, the other gate is opened, and the vessel exits the lock.
