What is a gulf?A gulf is a large bay that is an arm of an ocean or sea. A gulf is a portion of the ocean that penetrates land. Gulfs vary greatly in size, shape, and depth. They are generally larger and more deeply indented than bays. Like bays, they often make excellent harbors. Many important trading cente.rs are located on gulfs. Gulfs may be formed by movements in the Earths crust. The Earths tectonic plates may rift, or break apart, creating a gulf. Or, one plate may fold under another, a process called subduction. Subduction may create a gulf by making down folds, or troughs, in the rock under the ocean. Gulfs are sometimes connected to the ocean by narrow passages of water called straits. Strait is also a form of water form and the example of this is Luzon Strait located at north. Gulfs can also have wide openings and are sometimes indistinguishable from larger bodies of water.

Gulfs with pictures and I’ll also

give their locations.
