	Strait
		A strait is a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.
		Straits usually lie on important shipping routes, and many wars have been fought for control of these straits.
		That is, while straits lie between two land masses and connects two larger bodies of water, isthmuses lie between two bodies of water and connects two larger land masses.
