In geographical terms, a "sound" is a large sea or ocean inlet that is typically deeper than a bay and is often characterized by its narrowness. Sounds can be formed by various geological processes, including the flooding of river valleys or the tectonic movement of land. They can separate islands from the mainland or connect inland bodies of water to the ocean. Sounds are significant for various reasons, including their role in navigation, marine ecosystems, and as locations for human settlements and activities.
