Name two geographic obstacles and one political obstacle that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal.
Answer: The two geographic obstacles that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal was that Panama was very mountainous, and there were a lot of mud slides. One political obstacle was that Panama was part of Colombia. The united states had to negotiate with Colombia before Panama became independent. Engineers had to build a dam, design and build locks, and remove huge amounts of earth and rock in order to overcome the geographical obstacles.
I hope it helps, Regards.
Answer:
340
Explanation:
Given that
The time period in question is 209 years
The magnitude of the first earthquake is 8.5 Mw
The magnitude if the artificially induced earthquake is 5.0 Mw
To solve this question, we'd use the simple relationship of
8.5 * 200 = 5.0 * Y, where
y is the no of artificial earthquakes required ..
Making y subject of the formula, we have
Y = 1700 / 5.0
Y = 340
Therefore, we have 340 smaller earthquakes in the said 200 yrs time period
Im guessing its B. In 1978, the United States handed over full control of the canal to Panama.
