Talk:The Wash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] is it an estuary or an indentation?
in the opening paragraph the wash is called and estruary but later on it is called and indentation which one is it?
- 'An indentation' is not really part of a geographer's technical vocabulary, though there is nothing to stop his using it in its generally known sense. The Wash is however, technically an estuary, though not a typical one. It is not the tidal part of one great river but of several relatively small ones. They are as it were, the tributaries of a larger river, the valley of which is now drowned by the sea. (RJP 10:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC))
