A strait, or straits, eg, the Straits of Gibraltar, the Bass Strait.
The two bodies of land separated by the Strait of Gibraltar are Europe and Africa. The strait connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, serving as a boundary between the two continents.
A strait is a narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water, typically separating two land masses. It is different from a sound as a strait is a natural waterway formed by processes like erosion or tectonic movement. Examples include the Strait of Gibraltar and the Strait of Hormuz.
A strait is a narrow body of water with land on both sides. It connects two larger bodies of water and is typically used for navigation and transportation between the two land masses. Examples include the Bering Strait and the Strait of Gibraltar.
Usually in boats. A strait is a narrow water passage between two points of land, as in the Strait of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
The Rock of Gibraltar
The major land body just south of Spain is Africa. Specifically, the country of Morocco.
The Strait of Gibraltar is about 7-8 miles wide. However, Spain actually controls Ceuta, which is the African peninsula on the Strait of Gibraltar. So, Spain actually borders Morocco directly at the Strait of Gibraltar (although there is a no-man's land of roughly 100-200 feet that separates them).
A strait is a narrow waterway that connects two larger bodies of water. Some famous examples include the Strait of Gibraltar (connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea), the Bering Strait (between Alaska and Russia), and the Strait of Malacca (between Malaysia and Indonesia).
A strait is a narrow stretch of water that connects two larger bodies of water or separates two landmasses. Examples of straits include the Strait of Gibraltar and the Bering Strait.
The city-country surrounded either by Spain or by water is Gibraltar. It is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. Gibraltar is bordered by Spain to the north and is surrounded by water on its remaining sides, with the Strait of Gibraltar to the south.
A body of water wider than a strait is typically called a channel or a passage. These features are natural waterways that connect larger bodies of water or separate land masses, providing a route for ships and boats to travel between them. Examples include the English Channel between England and France and the Strait of Gibraltar between Europe and Africa.
