What is Fjord?

and fjord is a geological feature caused by crazy, with significant examples of fjords are located in Norway, Greenland, Chile, parts of Alaska and Canada, Arctic and New Zealand. Fjord is caused by the flooding of the glacial valley of seawater and usually occurs on the west coast with a highly resistant rock that resists erosion by other forces, so that the basic shape of the fjord for centuries. In particular, Norway is known for its fjords, which are a popular tourist attraction and a summer retreat for Norwegian. The glaciers carved the typical U -shaped valleys on the ground with their movements and total weight and pushed detritus to the mouth where it would join the ocean if it was not filled with ice. Fjord tends to be the deepest in the middle and the back of the valley, because there was a glacier for a more lunar period of time and the bottom of the fjord is significantly below the sea level. Although some fjords take the form of the mouth, mixing zones for salt and fresh water, most fjords are actually ocean inputs and are not connected to the Greeks or streamY, although they are relatively long and can stretch to miles in the inside of the ground.

When the LED glaciers melted, the ocean flooded the resulting valleys and created very deep water formations between the steep shores that left the glacier. Because the fjords are so deep, the water they contain, the tendency to be very cold and also allows navigation by large ships if they can pass by the shallower areas in the mouth of the fjord. Fjord's entry also tends to be narrower than the water formation inside.

Although fjords may have existed in several places at the same time, they have been eroded with the Potter for centuries. However, the western coast of nations with fjords are abundantly dotted with striking ocean entrances. The steep slopes of the real fjord make him an inappropriate place to take people who do not know how to swim, because there are few shallow areas in which to learn swimming. However, for qualified swimmers, fjords may be a pleasant activity in the summer andMany Norwegian families make summer trips to the FJORD region for recreation. In addition, many tourist companies offer fjord cruises and trips for people who want to see fjords from the ship's deck.
