Who owned the Panama Canal?
Panama owns the Panama Canal. Because of the Torrijos Carter Treaties. Signed by Jimmy Carter and Omar Torrijos of Panama on September 7, 1977, this started the process of granting the Panamanians free control of the Canal so long as Panama signed a treaty guaranteeing the permanent neutrality of the Canal. The treaty led to full Panamanian control effective from noon on December 31, 1999, and the Panama Canal Authority assumed command of the canal.
Was Franklin d Roosevelt associated with the panama canal?
no- not in any direct way. Theodore Roosevelt, on the other hand, played a big role in getting the canal built.
How did they make the Panama Canal?
Forming the Canal ZoneIn 1903, the US was unable to secure ratification of a treaty with Colombia, which at the time held claim to the isthmus. Changing tactics, the administration of Theodore Roosevelt decided to support the separatist movement instead, resulting in the formation of an independent Panama. The US was then granted a 99-year lease on the territories around the canal, which became the Canal Zone.ConstructionIn the construction of the Panama Canal (1904-1914), new designs and methods were employed than in the earlier French attempt (1880-1893). The canal was changed to a lock system rather than a sea-level plan, which greatly reduced the needed excavation. The angles of digging and the local river hydrography were considered when preventing landslides or flooding. Despite medical efforts to fight malaria and yellow fever, as many as 5600 workers died on the project.
What were tools that The paleolithic people used?
they made hand axes and hunted with spears
How much will a good hand trowel cost?
Hand trowels are gardening tools meant for digging small holes. A good hand trowel will cost around $11 from Ace Hardware. Basic hand trowels start around $3.
What was the obstacle preventing the canal from being built in Panama?
Well there was diseases comming from mosqitos ,rain and mud which was hard to get out of,poisnist snakes,and it was about 120 degrees... I Hope i helped :D There was also lots of rocks that needed to be moved which eventually got moved by hand or machine!
What made building the Erie Canal so difficult?
The construction was a great challenge because there were no machines to do the digging. Everything had to be done by hand or with animals. Irishmen were hired to do the digging because they worked very cheaply. Also America did not have any trained engineers so men had to learn as they went along.
How can an auger be used for digging holes effectively?
An auger can be used for digging holes effectively by attaching it to a power drill or hand crank and then inserting it into the ground. As the auger rotates, it will cut through the soil and create a hole with minimal effort and precision. This method is faster and more efficient than using a shovel or other manual digging tools.
What is classification of farm tool?
Farm tools can be classified into different categories based on their function, such as cutting tools (e.g. knives, sickles), digging tools (e.g. shovels, spades), and planting tools (e.g. seeders, transplanters). They can also be classified based on power source, such as manual tools (operated by hand), animal-driven tools (pulled or powered by animals), or mechanized tools (powered by engines or motors).

Why is the construction of the panama canal considered one of the world greatest engineering feats?
The Panama Canal is considered one of the greatest engineering feats simply because of the massive scale of the building project and its significance. For one thing, the canal was carved mostly by hand with the assistance of steam shovels which had really just been invented. The fact that humans and some machines were actually able to split two continents in half to create a shorter way to get around South America was what made it a real feat of engineering.
Are four-legged mules and not tractors still used on the Panama Canal for barges less than 500 tons?
No. There are what are called handline transits where small vessels are controlled by the use of hand lines between the vessel and the canal walls. A 500-ton vessel, or one even a fraction of that weight, could do severe damage to the lock gates if it got loose, so the diesel electric "mules" are used on anything of significant mass to maneuver is safely into and out of the locks. Though mules, the four-legged variety, were used along early canals in Europe and the U.S. to move barges, they were never used in the Panama Canal. From the onset, the protection of the lock gates mandated the use of the powerful machines we see there today. GE built the first ones, and Mitsubishi builds the current models in use there. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the Panama Canal locks. You can check facts there, and can fill out your knowledge of the Panama Canal as well.
