Q. The Strait of Gibraltar, that was recently making news, separates which two countries?
Answer:
Spain and Morocco
Notes: Iran has recently threatened to close the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea unless Israel stops bombing Gaza. Strait of Gibraltar is a narrow strait that serves as a natural boundary between two continents and two countries. It separates Europe and Africa, specifically the southern coast of Spain in Europe and the northern coast of Morocco in Africa. The strait connects the Atlantic Ocean to the west with the Mediterranean Sea to the east, and its strategic location has been historically significant for trade and military navigation. The Strait of Gibraltar is approximately 14 kilometers (about 9 miles) wide at its narrowest point, making it one of the key maritime chokepoints in the world.
