What distinguishes a bay from a sound? What is the difference between a channel and a strait?
According to quora, a bay is a body of water, coastal or otherwise, with a single connection to a single larger body of water while a sound is a coastal waterway that connects in two or more places to one or more bodies of water.
Interesting, that would make the depiction of a sound in the picture incorrect.
I'm not sure that's correct though because then there would be no difference between sound and fjord. Also by that definition would the Puget Sound not be a sound?
Fjord: Valley created by glacier flow that is the filled with water to create islands
Sound: Natural Valley produced by underground movement filled with water to create islands
Are you asking cause this picture seems to say they are the same thing or because you want to know? Haha
