Which of the following water bodies separates the Andaman Islands from the Nicobar Islands?
Ten Degree Channel
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands lie in the Bay of Bengal as two groups separated by a stretch of sea.
The Ten Degree Channel, so named because it runs approximately along the 10° North latitude, is the body of water that separates the Andaman group in the north from the Nicobar group in the south.
For contrast, the Nine Degree Channel separates the Lakshadweep islands from Minicoy, the Palk Strait separates India from Sri Lanka, and Duncan Passage lies between Little Andaman and the South Andaman group.
Hence, the water body separating the Andaman Islands from the Nicobar Islands is the Ten Degree Channel.
