Q. Gulf of Aden, recently seen in the news, is a deepwater basin that forms a natural sea link between which two seas?
Answer:
Red Sea and Arabian Sea
Notes: Pirates’ recent assault in the Gulf of Aden sparks alarm. The gulf acts as a crucial maritime corridor connecting the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. Named after Yemen's Port of Aden, it borders Somalia to the south and Yemen to the north, with the Arabian Sea to the east and Djibouti to the west. The prominent Sheba Ridge characterizes its terrain, extending from the Indian Ocean ridge system.
