= Sounds (geography)
{wiki=Category:Sounds_(geography)}
In geographical terms, a "sound" is a large sea or ocean inlet. It can also refer to a narrow sea or ocean channel between two landmasses. Sounds are typically larger than fjords and are often less sheltered than bays. They are formed through various geological processes, including erosion and glacial activity. Sounds can also serve important ecological and economic functions, acting as habitats for marine life and providing navigation routes for shipping and fishing.
