Water Bodies
Welcome to Intellify Interactive video series
What are the different types of water bodies?
PART 2
Cove
Scientists generally use the term to describe a circular or round inlet with a narrow entrance though colloquially the term is sometimes used to describe any sheltered bay.A cove can also refer to a corner, nook, or cranny, either in a river, road, or wall, especially where the wall meets the floor.
Firth
It is a word in the Scottish and English language used to denote various coastal waters in Scotland and even a strait. It is generally the result of ice age glaciation and is associated with a large river where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed into an estuary.
Kettle
It is a shallow, sediment-filled body of water formed by retreating glaciers or draining floodwaters.
Loch
It is the Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Scots word for a lake or for a sea inlet. Sea-inlet lochs are often called sea lochs or sea loughs. Such bodies of water could also be called firths, fjords, estuaries, straits or bays.
Mill pond
It is a body of water used as a reservoir for a water-powered mill. They were often created through the construction of a mill dam across a waterway.
Moat
It is a deep, broad trench either dry or filled with water, surrounding and protecting a structure, installation, or town.
Oxbow lake
It is a U-shaped lake formed when a wide meander from the mainstem of a river is cut off to create a lake.
Phytotelma
It is a small water-filled cavity in a terrestrial plant. The water accumulated within them serves as the habitat for associated fauna and flora.
Sub glacial lake
It is a lake that is found under a glacier, typically beneath an ice cap or ice sheet. Subglacial lakes form at the boundary between ice and the underlying bedrock, where gravitational pressure decreases the pressure melting point of ice.
Strait
It is a naturally formed, narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water. Most commonly it is a channel of water that lies between two land masses.
