ANSWER: All of the above
- A strait is a naturally formed, narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water.
- Most commonly it is a channel of water that lies between two land masses.
- Some straits are not navigable, for example because they are too shallow, or because of an unnavigable reef or archipelago.
- An isthmus lies between two bodies of water and connects two larger land masses.
