Ten Degree Channel
The Ten Degree Channel is a channel that separates the Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands from each other in the Bay of Bengal. The two sets of islands together form the Indian Union Territory (UT) of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This channel is wide from north to south, and approximately long from east to west. It has minimum depth of 7.3m and lies from east to west on the 10-degree line of latitude north of the equator, hence the name.
