Its all semantics of course but what the article doesnt mention is flow. I cant think of another sea that drains into a river.
Edit: in fact the word 'lake' is derived from meaning to drain ('leak' is similar)
- jameshart 4y agoThe Bosphorus and Dardanelles, between the Black Sea and the Aegean/Mediterranean, are quite a lot like a river. There are both shorter and wider bodies of water that are considered rivers.
- twelvechairs 4y agoThey don't have a one way flow though
- jameshart 4y agoMany rivers have tidal flows in their lower reaches. Maybe the Turkish Straits are just an extreme example of that?
- trylfthsk 4y agoNeither do the Straits of Mackinac
- Kon-Peki 4y agoA lot of people argue that the Straits of Mackinac is just a very narrow section of a single large lake - in other words that Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are a single lake, not two lakes.
- PopAlongKid 4y agoYes, there is just a single lake comprising Michigan and Huron.[0] [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_of_Mackinac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_of_Mackinac
