    Strait
    A strait is a natural, narrow
    waterway with land on both sides.
    If it has shallower water on both
    sides, instead of land, it is called
    a Channel e.g., English Channel.
    If it is man-made, it would be
    called a canal, not a strait.
    There are hundreds of straits in
    the world. A few important ones
    are shown here.
