what is the definition of a gulf?

Answer 1

A gulf is a part of the ocean that is partly surrounded by land. It is similar to a bay, but a gulf goes farther inland than a bay does. It is also bigger than a bay. Its mouth is narrower than the magnitude of the indentation. Most existing gulfs were formed as a result of the rise in sea level that accompanied the ending of the last ice age, Such as the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Oman, resulted from warping, folding, or downfaulting of the Earth's crust, which caused parts of the shoreline to drop below sea level. . A gulf may have a group of islands at its mouth or may open into another gulf.
