*’area’ of ‘water’ bordered by ‘land’ on 3 ‘sides’*
.
*a bay is a ‘body of water’ connected to an ‘ocean’ or ‘lake’, formed by an ‘indentation’ of the ‘shoreline’*
.
(a large bay may be called a gulf, a sea, a sound, or a ‘bight’)
(a cove is a smaller ‘circular’ or ‘oval-coastal’ inlet with a ‘narrow entrance’; some ‘coves’ may be referred to as ‘bays’)
(a fjord is a particularly steep ‘bay’ shaped by ‘glacial activity’)
(‘bays’ can exist as the ‘estuary’ of a ‘river’ (as the ‘estuary’ of the ‘parramatta river’ in ‘australia’)
(‘bays’ may be nested in each other; for example, James Bay is an arm of Hudson Bay. Some large bays, such as the Bay of Bengal and the Hudson Bay, have varied marine geology.
(the land surrounding a bay can often block waves and reduce the strength of winds)
(thus bays were significant in the history of human settlement because they could provide a safe place for fishing.
.
(later they were important in the development of ‘sea trade’ as the ‘safe anchorage’ they provide encouraged their selection as ‘ports’)
