A strait is a narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water, serving as a channel for navigation. It often separates landmasses, such as continents or islands. Straits can vary in width and depth and can have significant economic and strategic importance for maritime trade and transportation. Some well-known examples of straits include the Strait of Gibraltar, which connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, and the Bering Strait, which separates Russia and Alaska.
