Bodies of Water by Land: Bays, Gulfs, and Coves

The video tutorial explores the characteristics and differences between bays, gulfs, and coves. Bays are broad, concave water bodies often surrounded by land on three sides, formed by erosion or tectonic activity. Gulfs are deeper inlets with narrow openings, also shaped by erosion or tectonic shifts. The video highlights exceptions like the Bay of Bengal and Hudson Bay. Coves are small, sheltered recesses in shorelines, providing calm waters. Understanding these water bodies involves examining their relationship with surrounding land and their formation processes.
