  4. Length and Width Straight of Dover The English Channel is about 350 Miles long. It varies in width from 150 Miles (at it’s widest) to 21 miles (straight of dover, closest part of England and France)

  5. Importance of the Straight The English Channel is very important today because like many other straits, it’s used as a route for ships to go through to ship different types of goods and other resources that other countires might not have. (Sharing is caring) It’s important for the country that needs whatever is being shipped. Because without it the ships would have to go all the way around and the ship would take longer to deliver.

  6. What would happen if the straight was closed? If the straight were to ever close, then there would be a lot of trouble with trying to ship different things around the world or to different countries. Because of the strait there is a clear and easy way to get from one place to another with minimum hassle.
