Answer:
Poor planning, and disease
Explanation:
The obstacles that the French faced while attempting to build a canal across Panama were diseases and poor planning. The French dealt with constant outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever, which slowed construction and caused the deaths of thousands of workers. The French also did not take into consideration the geographical differences between the Suez Canal region and the Panama region. The French had succeeded in building a canal at sea level in Egypt, and they mistakenly thought a similar design would work in Panama. However, the difference in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean sea levels, as well as the difference in elevation of the Panamanian terrain, prevented them from building a sea-level canal. The United States knew about these two problems when they undertook the project. They took preventative measures by reducing the disease-spreading mosquito population and using a canal-lock system to overcome the elevation obstacle in Panama.
Cultural convergence occurs more rapidly with improved transportation.
<h3>What is cultural convergence?</h3>
Cultural convergence is the phrase used to describe how civilizations tend to alter and adapt when they are frequently exposed to different cultures. Cultures will become more similar the more they interact with one another. Time and points of interaction are two major aspects that affect cultural convergence. Greater commonalities between cultures emerge from longer exposure times, of course. Increased contact rates, accessibility to communication and transportation, and membership in the same groups all speed up the rate of convergence. It will take longer for a civilization to absorb the traditions of another culture if they are just sometimes exposed to it through pop culture media than if they are exposed to their food, language, art, etc.

The appropriate answer is B. DIVERGENT. Divergent margins occur where two oceanic plates are pulling apart or it can occur where a Continental landmass is pulling apart.
As oceanic plates pull apart magma up wells from the mantle and new crust is formed along what is called a spreading ridge. The Mid Alantic ridge is an example of a spreading ridge where new oceanic crust is being formed.
