Describe the St. Lawrence as a seaway. |
|
Answer» (i) The estuary of St. Lawrence River along with the Great Lakes, forms a unique commercial water way in the northern part of North America. (ii) The ports on this route like Duluth and Buffalo are equipped with all facilities of ocean ports. Large ocean going vessels are able to navigate up the river deep inside the continent to Montreal. (iii) Goods have to be trans-shipped to smaller vessels due to the presence of rapids. Canals have been constructed upto 3.5 m deep to avoid these. |
