Talk:Strait
From Academic Kids
Is the English Channel really a strait? Especially considering that its narrowest part is itself a strait: the Strait of Dover. -- 81.132.225.23 21:44, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Straits, channels, and passages are names for the same concept: that of a narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water and lies between two land masses. In that case, the English channel is a "strait" in a sense. Though it is actually interesting that the narrowest part is also named an as an actual strait. --seav 22:41, Mar 12, 2004 (UTC)
