Geography‐ Panama Canal The Panama Canal is essential to the United States. About 12,000 ships a year pass through the canal, 70 percent
of them going to or from U.S. ports. A ship bound from New York to San Francisco, for example, enters the canal from the Caribbean Sea. The ship remains at sea level for the first few miles. Then it comes to a step like series of three chambers called locks—the Gatun Locks. Each fills with water after the vessel enters, raising it about 28 feet. The three locks lift the ship to the level of Gatun Lake, formed by Gatun Dam. (It takes 26 million gallons of water from Gatun Lake to fill each lock. The lake does not run dry, however, because the region receives substantial rainfall and because Gatun Lake has backup water stored in Madden Lake.)
The ship crosses Gatun Lake and goes through the Gaillard Cut, a narrow passage cut through hills. Then the ship
is taken into the Pedro Miguel Locks and is lowered about 31 feet to Miraflores Lake. At the other side of the lake, the ship enters the two Miraflores Locks. As the water is released for each, the ship is lowered an additional 27 feet. At sea level again, the ship passes to the Bay of Panama just a few miles away. The eight‐hour passage through the Panama Canal has saved nearly 8,000 miles of travel.
Geography‐ A New Look for Europe Directions: Read the paragraphs below and study the maps carefully. Then answer the questions that follow.
In 1919, a peace conference to formally end World War I was held at the Palace of Versailles near Paris. President Wilson, heading the U.S. delegation, had a plan called the Fourteen Points that he hoped would restore stability to Europe. Of Wilson’s points, eight dealt with boundary changes intended to allow European ethnic groups to decide their national identities. Another point called for the formation of a League of Nations to oversee world peace.
However, Wilson’s idealism collided with hatred and fear. The French premiere had lived through two German invasions of his country, and he was determined to prevent that from happening again. The British prime minister had just won reelection with the slogan “Make Germany Pay.” Also, contrary to custom, the conference did not include officials of the defeated countries, and Russia and the smaller Allied nations were excluded. The Treaty of Versailles created nine new nations and changed the boundaries of others. (Shortly thereafter, in 1922–1923, the Soviet Union and Turkey came into being.) But the treaty failed to establish a lasting peace. The U.S. Senate even refused to sign the treaty because of fears that membership in the League would drag the United States into future European squabbles. Many historians blame the flawed treaty for encouraging the conflicts and resentments that surfaced in the 1930s and led to World War II.
