- (A) Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea
- (B) Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea
- (C) Red Sea and Caspian Sea
- (D) Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea
You are absolutely right! The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea (B). Let’s break down why the other options are incorrect:
- (A) The Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea: These seas are located far north of the Suez Canal and are not connected by any major waterway.
- (C) Red Sea and Caspian Sea: Similar to (A), the Red Sea and Caspian Sea are geographically separated and don’t have a direct connection.
- (D) Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea: While both are European seas, the North Sea is located northwest of Europe and isn’t connected to the Mediterranean Sea by any canal.
The Suez Canal’s importance lies in providing a crucial shortcut for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. By connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, it eliminates the need to sail around Africa, significantly reducing travel time and distance. This makes the canal a vital trade route for global commerce.
