English Channel
The English Channel is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that separates Southern England from northern France, stretching approximately 560 kilometers in length and varying in width from 240 kilometers to 34 kilometers. It is the busiest shipping area in the world and has played a significant role in the United Kingdom's naval history, serving as a natural defense against invasions. The Channel's name has evolved over time, with various Latin and English names being used, including Oceanus Britannicus, the British Sea, and the Narrow Seas. The modern English name "English Channel" was first recorded in the 13th century and gained popularity in the 16th century, eventually becoming the standard name in official usage by the 19th century.learn more on wikipedia
