X上广受好评的科普：陆地水体各个地理名词的关系。

仟音一心

然而只需要翻译成中文：
Peninsula半岛⇔Gulf海湾（大型）
Isthmus地峡⇔Strait海峡
Island岛屿⇔Lake湖泊
Archipelago群岛⇔System of Lakes湖群
Cape海角⇔Bay海湾（小型）
这还需要科普？

以前查过bay和gulf区别就是前者小后者大，也有说bay只是海岸线凹进去而gulf得入口小里边大，但是哈德逊湾用的又是bay

半岛是一个三面环水一面连着大陆的的岛屿，海角／海岬只是一个小的突起。
图确实没找太好。

这个应该是某个地方扩大化后或者是挪用了其他名称的缘故，应该跟哈德逊湾公司有关

Gulf大且深，入口窄。
Bay小且浅，入口宽。

其实分得也没那么严格，孟加拉湾比很多Gulf都大，但是用的还是Bay，说穿了只是一个命名习惯。

bay(n.1)

"inlet, recess in the shore of a sea or lake," c. 1400, from Old French baie, Late Latin baia (source of Spanish and Portuguese bahia, Italian baja), which is perhaps ultimately from Iberian (Celtic) bahia.

gulf(n.)

late 14c., "profound depth," from Old French golf "a gulf, whirlpool," from Italian golfo "a gulf, a bay," from Late Latin colfos, from Greek kolpos "bay, gulf of the sea," earlier "trough between waves, fold of a loose garment," originally "bosom," the common notion being "curved shape."

This is from PIE *kuolp- "arch, curve, vault" (compare Old English hwealf "vault," a-hwielfan "to overwhelm," Old Norse holfinn "vaulted," Old High German welban "to vault").

还有一个词，一般翻译为“小湾”：

cove(n.1)

early 14c., "den, cave, hollow nook," from Old English cofa "small chamber, cell," from Proto-Germanic *kubon (compare Old High German kubisi "tent, hut," German Koben "pigsty," Old Norse kofi "hut, shed").

The extension of meaning to "small bay, inlet, or creek" is from 1580s, apparently via Scottish dialectal meaning "small hollow place in coastal rocks" (a survival of an Old English secondary sense). Also in early Middle English, "chamber, closet, pantry," hence the legal phrase cove and keie "right of the mistress of a household to control 'pantry and key,'" that is, to manage the household (late 13c.).

Gulfs form mainly due to plate tectonics that leads the earth’s crust to shift and move and form deep underwater basins, which then gradually fill with water, forming a gulf.
Geological Formation

The Gulf of Mexico formed when North and South America separated, ultimately creating a deep basin that was filled with water eventually. The movement of the Pacific Plate and North American Plate caused the nearby land area to sink, creating the long and narrow Gulf of California.

Meanwhile, the main factor behind the formation of Bays is erosion and, most commonly, tidal erosion. It occurs when a tide comes in and out, slowly eroding or washing away the shoreline, creating an indentation.

Bays are also formed due to differential erosion when different kinds of rocks are eroded at different rates over a period of time. This process creates bays with steep cliffs and deep waters like the fjords in Norway.

Bays are also formed by glacial activity. In the last Ice Age, glaciers covered much of the surface of the earth. As they began to melt, they carved out valleys and bays such as the Chesapeake Bay, U.S.

倒是新查到说gulf是板块运动构造而bay是侵蚀，不过还是有些对不上

按这意思，地峡怎么能叫峡呢，硬要说也应该是 地脊 之类的吧

古汉语里其实也有类似的现象，比如对各种水体有不同的对应字，但汉语造字还是比较合理的，即使不认识看结构大概能猜到和什么有关。

两种海湾应该是画领海基线会有不同吧。半岛和海角似乎确实没有本质区别。

这些都还好，最让我搞不明白的一个词是sound。有一些中文叫海峡的地方，英语叫sound；有一些中文叫湾的地方，英语也叫sound。

海角对应的应该是峡湾吧？

陆地伸出尖锐一角，陡峭高耸出海面
vs
海侵入陆地一尖，两侧山体陡峭

不过国内没有峡湾，可能不太容易理解

峡本意是指两山夹水的地形。不需要查字典，三峡，海峡都是很容易理解的。
地峡指由土地构成的“峡”，自然就是两水夹陆的地形了

类似的词比如：
港→空港
人→法人

地峡这个一般是叫陆桥吧

陆桥更多是生物迁徙的概念，跨度比地峡更大，但在地理上可能不是完全连续的，中间会有浅滩或者潮间带，只要陆地生物有办法过去就算。
