Q. Consider the following pairs of straits and the bodies of water they connect: - Kerch Strait – Black Sea and Sea of Azov
- Bosphorus Strait – Black Sea and Sea of Marmara
- Dardanelles Strait – Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara
- Yucatan Strait – Black Sea and Aegean Sea
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Answer:
Only 3 pairs
Notes: The pairs correctly matched are: (1) Kerch Strait between the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, (2) Bosphorus Strait between the Black Sea and Sea of Marmara, and (3) Dardanelles Strait between Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara. The Yucatan Strait actually connects the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, not the Black Sea and Aegean Sea.
