the BOSPORUS! Between what two countries is it? A very neat topic for research even today.
b.And, then locate CYPRUS on the Mediterranean side of Turkey. What land mass is it?

Answer 1

A) Bosporus is the narrowest strait in the world connecting the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara (which eventually leads to the Mediterranean.) It seperates the European part of Turkey from the Asian part of Turkey. How it was formed is still a subject of debate.

B) Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean.
