 | | The terms strait, channel, passage and firth can be synonymous and interchangeable, although channel and firth have other meanings too. |
 | | Although rivers and canals often form a bridge between two large lakes or a lake and a sea, and these seem to suit the formal definition of straits, they are not usually referred to as straits. |
 | | Straits are typically much larger, wider structures that do not have water running in a single direction, and normally connect two seas. |
