If you are referring to anatomy, an isthmus is the narrow connection between organs. For example, the isthmus of the fauces is where the back of your mouth meets your throat. Geographically, however, an isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger landmasses and separating two bodies of water. An example of this would be the Isthmus of Panama land link which extends east-west about 400 miles from the border of Costa Rica to the border of Colombia.

How is an isthmus made or produced?

An isthmus is a slender piece of land that connects two larger pieces, and has water on either side. It could be formed in several ways. * Erosion: The isthmus may be of a softer material than the land at each end, and may have eroded faster, becoming thinner than the adjacent land. * Deposition: The isthmus may be formed by wind or water depositing silt or dust that lodges in between two prominent pieces of land, gradually building up till they are joined. * Earthquake: land between two islands may be lifted above sea level by seismic forces, linking them. * Volcanic: Lava may flow down from a volcanic island, linking it to another landmass.
