Q. The Dardanelles Strait, that was recently seen in news, connects which two water bodies?
Answer: Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara
Notes: Turkey recently closed the Dardanelles Strait to shipping traffic due to nearby forest fires. The Dardanelles Strait is in northwestern Turkey, linking the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. It separates Europe from the western tip of Asia Minor. It is named after the ancient city of Dardanus. It was once called the Hellespont, meaning “Helle’s sea.”
