A thin narrow piece of land that connects two larger land masses is called an isthmus. Isthmuses are often significant for transportation and trade because they can provide a shorter route between two bodies of water. A well-known example is the Isthmus of Panama, which connects North and South America.

An isthmus (IPA: /ˈɪsθməs, ˈɪstməs, ˈɪsməs/, Greek: ἰσθμός, plural isthmuses or isthmi) is a narrow strip of land that is bordered on two sides by water and connects two larger land masses. It is the inverse of a strait (which lies between two land masses and connects two larger bodies of water).If it is connected by two larger bodies of land, it is called an isthmus. If only connected by one larger body of land, it is called a peninsula (and is connected to the main body of land by an isthmus).
A narrow strip of land with larger land masses on both sides is known as an isthmus. It serves as a natural connection between two larger land areas and often provides a crucial route for transportation and trade. Famous examples include the Isthmus of Panama, which connects North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez, linking Africa and Asia.
