Headlands and bays
A headland is an area of land adjacent to water on three sides. A bay is the reverse, rather an area of water bordered by land on three sides. A large headland may also be called a
peninsula. Long, narrow and high headlands may be called promontories. When headlands dramatically affect the
ocean currents they are often called capes. A large bay may also be called a gulf,
sound or
bight. A narrow bay may also be called a
fjord if its sides are relatively steep. Any bay may include other bays (for example,
James Bay is a bay within
Hudson Bay).
