An Isthmus is a strip of land that separates two bodies of water. Panama is the most obvious example of this.
panama is an isthmus an is in the central America.
An isthmus is a narrow strip of land that connects two larger land masses or separates two bodies of water. It can be natural or man-made and has important geopolitical and environmental implications. Examples of isthmuses include the Isthmus of Panama and the Isthmus of Corinth.
The isthmus that connects Colombia and Central America is the Isthmus of Panama. This narrow strip of land extends from north to south, separating the Caribbean Sea to the east from the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is a strategic location for trade and transportation between the two regions.
Panama, the southernmost country in Central America, I suppose could be called a "thin sweep of land," but Panamanians probably wouldn't like it. Another, shorter name for this "thin sweep of land" would be, "isthmus." Again, Panama would be the only logical answer here--keeping in mind that Panama is divided by a canal as well.
Pretty much all Central American countries are on an isthmus, but you probably want Panama.
A narrow strip of land with water on both sides is an Isthmus.
It does not. Panama is a political state. An isthmus is a physical geographic feature. The land that Panama sits on may be regarded as an isthmus, but this does not correspond directly to Panama's political borders.
