Panama Canal question...please help ty?

Describe the physical characteristics that made the Panama a poor choice for a canal site.

there aren't any. I mean it's the narrowest part of central america so it was ideal to build it there. They could have made it somewhere else but they were trying to shorten their trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific not make it equally as long.
