What separates the North Andaman and South Andaman islands?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Duncan Passage

Explanation:

• Duncan Passage : Separates the North Andaman and South Andaman islands but does not divide the Andaman from the Nicobar islands.
• Ten Degree Channel separates the Andaman Islands in the north from the Nicobar Islands in the south. This channel is a key geographical feature dividing the two groups of islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands archipelago.
• Coco Channel : Separates the Andaman Islands from the Nicobar Islands but does not divide the entire groups as described in the question.
• Palk Strait : This lies between India and Sri Lanka, and it has no connection to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Information Booster :

• The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal.
• The archipelago consists of more than 500 islands and is divided into two major groups:
• Andaman Islands: Consisting of North Andaman, Middle Andaman, and South Andaman.
• Nicobar Islands: Divided into Northern, Central, and Southern groups.
• The Ten Degree Channel plays a crucial role in separating the Andaman Islands from the Nicobar Islands.
• The Duncan Passage is important for separating the North and South Andaman Islands but does not serve to separate the Andaman group from the Nicobar group, which is done by the Ten Degree Channel.
