Description
Bosphorus is the strait between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara; it is an inundated valley that follows an irregular northeast-southwest course 32 km (20 miles) long, 730-3300 m (800-3600 yards) wide, 30-120 m (100-395ft) deep. It links the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles. It is a former river valley which was drowned by the sea at the end of the Tertiary period. This is a very busy strait with many ships and oil tankers, as well as local fishing and passenger boats.
