What is
Gulf?
A gulf is a body of water that is connected to a sea or ocean. There
will be land partially surrounding the water, but it is larger than a bay.
What is the
difference between Gulf and Bay?
Both have the same characteristics. In technical terms, both a gulf
and a bay are the same things, and the only difference that is pointed out is
in the size. A gulf is much larger than a bay. Gulfs are large bodies of water
that have only a narrow entrance along a strait. A bay is also a large body of
water that has a wider opening than a gulf.
Though it has been said that a bay is smaller than a gulf, there are
many exceptions. The Bay of Bengal, about the size of the Arabian Sea, is much
larger than the Gulf of Mexico.
