The Suez Canal (/ ˈ s uː. ɛ z /; Arabic: قَنَاةُ ٱلسُّوَيْسِ, Qanāt as-Suwais) is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez and dividing Africa and Asia (and by extension, the Sinai Peninsula from the rest of Egypt).
Sea surface temperature since 1979 in the extrapolar region (between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude). [9] Sea surface temperature (or ocean surface temperature) is the temperature of ocean water close to the surface.
Projected global surface temperature changes relative to 1850–1900, based on CMIP6 multi-model mean changes. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines global mean surface temperature (GMST) as the "estimated global average of near-surface air temperatures over land and sea ice, and sea surface temperature (SST) over ice-free ocean regions, with changes normally expressed as departures from a ...
The Suez Canal is one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.About 12% of world trade by volume passes through the man-made channel connecting Europe and Asia. So, a traffic jam like the one ...
The current channel depth of the canal allows for a maximum of 20.1 metres (66 ft) of draft, [2] meaning that a few fully laden supertankers are too deep to fit through, and either have to unload part of their cargo to other ships ("transhipment") or to a pipeline terminal before passing through, or alternatively avoid the Suez Canal and travel around Cape Agulhas instead.
From the Gulf of Aqaba to the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean, the modern version would expand two proposed water conveyance canals (Red Sea to Dead Sea, and, Mediterranean Sea to Dead Sea) into ship canals. Various proposals have existed since the construction of the Suez Canal. [4] [5] Panama Canal: Isthmus of Panama
Sea surface temperature since 1979 in the extrapolar region (between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude). [1] Sea surface temperature (or ocean surface temperature) is the temperature of ocean water close to the surface. The exact meaning of surface varies in the literature and in practice.
The average temperature of the coldest month must not be colder than −3–0 °C (27–32 °F), or the climate will be classified as continental. [9] [12] The average temperature variations in the year are between 10–15 °C (50–59 °F), with average annual temperatures between 6–13 °C (43–55 °F).
