An objective analysis of the effect of constructing a sea-level canal across Central America is attempted. This canal, unlike the present Panama canal, has not been built, though it is a feasible proposition. The canal would run almost north-south, and would be 50 miles long. Proposed routes are noted; these resulted from a joint study by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Atomic Energy Commission and the Panama Canal Co. in 1964. Extracts from their report are reproduced. In evaluating the report, the author takes account of some biological and physical features of the area, with particular attention to the potential effects of allowing mixing of Atlantic and Pacific biotas. The work of the Committee of Ecological Research for the Interoceanic Canal (CERIC), established to investigate the possible effects of building the canal, is reviewed. Finally, an alternative plan, involving the construction of a third, larger, set of locks on the present canal is presented, and the author concludes with the hope that ecological impact of canal building will be given as much attention as economic etc. when the decision to build, or not to build, the new canal is taken.

Wow. The Panama Canal was a major engineering project but one that cost many, many lives as it was constructed through a malarial belt. No one actually admits it, but the Panama is not the longest canal in the world. That honor goes to China, whose canal is not only older, but longer, and may have provided the inspiration for the Panama Canal, which was originally begun by the French. \nSurprised you can't find much on the internet, because when I googled up Panama Canal there were pages and pages of information. Try your search engine again, and good luck on the project.

They are divided by a river, so however long the bridge is would be your answer. Can't be over a 1/4 mile.

The mighty Mississippi River which is derived from the old Ojibwe word misi-ziibi meaning 'big river'.  River length is a difficult measurement to pin down because the river channel is constantly changing. For example, staff at Itasca State Park, the Mississippi's headwaters, say the Mississippi is 2,552 miles long. The US Geologic Survey has published a number of 2,300 miles (3,705 kilometers), the EPA says it is 2,320 miles long, and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area maintains its length at 2,350 miles.

Across the Bering Strait. The strait is approximately 90 km (56 mile) wide. In March, 2006, Briton Karl Bushby and French American adventurer Dimitri Kieffer crossed the strait on foot, walking across a frozen 90 km (56 mile) section in 15 days. (BBC) (although they were soon arrested for not entering Russia through a border control.)

ok first the Panama Canal is a canal, that is built between Central America, in Panama. It is the shortest piece of land between the Pacific and the Atlantic ocean. In the 1800's, the frence tried to build a canal thought Panama but failed due to the lack of equipment and many deaths related to yellow fever. in 1903, President  Tede Roosevelt asked congress to buy the french route for 40 million. Congress agreed to it and the route was bought from the french. The canal was built by 1903. Now the county Panama own's the canal. \nLeague of Nations was President Wilsons idea. After WW1 president wilson felt that there was another way to get things done than going to war. In his famous fourteen Points speech, he gave the idea of the League of Nations, it was to provide a forum for nations to discuss and settle their problems with out having to go to war. The League of nations was very week and in its greatest test of ability, It could not stop the starting of WW2. if it had been strong enough, it could have stopped Hitler, and the threat for another global war.\nthe Good Neighbor Policy was introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. WW2 was looming just around the corner, the good neighbor policy was basically, the president not interfering  with Latin America's issues. roosevelt removed all American soliders from Latin american countries. He started to be good to them. He did this because he did not want any Latin american countries to be allies with the Axis power (germany, Italy, Japan). The president wanted peace in the Western Hemisphere. he did not want another Zimmerman note from germany to any latin american countries. He basically wanted to be allies with them and have good relations with them. Because if he did not, there is a possibility that they might join up with the axis and attack the United States.\n\n(Finally U.S History Honors came to use for me =)\nhope this helps you

it all depends on many types of formulas and measurements of the ships.\n    but, aprox in 1928, they charged a person 0.36 cents to swin the canal. it took him 10 days to do this. they will not allow this presently.
