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.
What does the Panama Canal connects?
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and The Pacific Ocean. Before the canal opened, ships had to travel almost 3,000 miles to get around South America. When the canal opened in August 1914, the ships had a shorter route around the continent. They had to pass through two lock gates. The Gatun, and the Miraflore locks. The canal was successfully opened in 1914, with the first ship, the U.S.S Missouri, to be the first to pass through.
