QUESTION 1
1.1 Study the information and the map below and answer the questions that follow.
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway running 193 kilometres between Port
Said in the north and Suez in the south. The Suez Canal offers a shorter route for major
ships carrying cargo around the world. Construction of the Suez Canal started on
25 September 1859 and was first opened in 1869.
When first opened, the canal was 8 metres deep, 22 metres wide at the bottom and 61 to
91 metres wide at the surface. To allow ships to pass each other, passing bays were built
every 8 to 10 km.
The map below shows the Suez Canal and its surrounding areas.
