A glacial fiord. Norway has lots of them, but there is also one on the US East Coast. Somes Sound on Mt Desert Island in Maine is a glacial fiord. It is also a very pretty area with lots of very wealthy people having summer properties there. Mt. Desert Island is just barely an island since the inland waterway separating it from the mainland is just a creek.

Estuaries formed by glacial action are called what?
Fjords are estuaries formed by glacial action. They are long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs created by the movement of glaciers. Fjords are typically found in high-latitude regions where glaciers have carved deep valleys into the landscape.
What is the deep lake ever?
the deep lake is nile and it is also very long.
What forces shaped the land of the western hemisphere?
The glaciers and the erosion. It is glaciers and erosion because as glaciers move, they smoothed the rough surfaces, carved deep valleys, and piled up rocks and dirt. In some places, glaciers left behind rich oil. Erosion is the process by which water and wind wear away land. Flowing water can even carve a path through stones over a long period. Overtime, the soil carried by rivers can fill valleys and create plains. Wind causes erosion as it blows bits of stone and earth from the surface of landforms. The combined of wind and water have carved natural bridges, steep cliffs, and deep valleys.
How long is lake Windermere?
lake windermere is 17km long, 1.6km wide and is 60m deep
Was Lake Erie a glacier?
No, Lake Erie is a glacial lake. That means over thousands of years, glaciers approached and receded across what is now Canada and now the US. The friction of ice moving across the land carved out 5 basins. At first, the basins were small and filled with rain water and water that melted as the glaciers receded. The basins got bigger and deeper over those thousands of years. We now call those basins The Great Lakes, one of which is Lake Erie. By the way, a lake can never be a glacier, just as a glacier can never be a lake. But glaciers can carve out deep holes where lakes can form. Lake Erie averages a 62 foot depth, and 210 feet at it's deepest.
How deep is all of lake Powell?
As long as my poop.
What land features are formed from ice erosion?
Land features formed from ice erosion include cirques, u-shaped valleys, and fjords. Cirques are bowl-shaped depressions at the head of a glacier, u-shaped valleys are deep valleys with steep sides carved out by glaciers, and fjords are long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs created by glaciers flowing into the sea.
What agent of erosion and deposition formed long island?
A glacier formed Long Island which came from Canada
Did a long time ago glaciers dug out new your bay?
Yes, during the last ice age, glaciers carved out New York Bay as they advanced and retreated, shaping the landscape of the region. The movement of these glaciers deposited sediment that eventually formed the bay we see today.
What is a deep valley carved by a river called?
A deep valley carved by a river is called a canyon. Canyons are typically characterized by steep sides and are formed over long periods of time by the erosive action of flowing water.
