Question
Which of these seperates Russia from US ??
1. Drake passage
2. Ligurian sea
3. Bering Strait
4. Lake Volta
Answer
By hearing the question, I thought US is far west and Russia is far east.
How they could be near ??
Then I realised Earth is round .....
I was talking about US and Russia as we see in world Atlas.
But in reality, both US and Russia are quite near !!!
US and Russia are seperated by
BERING STRAIT
Its a small sea channel between
Alaska, USA on east side
Chukotka, Russia on west side.
Its only 82 km wide in its narrowest point !!!
So, technically US and Russia are only 4km apart !!!!
But there is a 21 hour time difference between them.
