SUNDAY POST : Bay by Jacksprinter
A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea formed by an inlet of land due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds, Bays were significant in the history of human settlement because they can provide a safe place for fishing. Later they were important in the development of sea trade as the safe anchorage they provide encouraged their selection as ports.
Visakhapatnam is situated on Bay of Bengal. It lies on a small embayment of the Bay of Bengal, about 380 miles (610 km) northeast of Chennai (Madras).
The Bay of Bengal, the largest bay in the world, forms the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean. Roughly triangular in shape, it is bordered mostly by India and Sri Lanka to the west, Bangladesh to the north, and Burma (Myanmar) and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the east. Before the arrival of British to India it was known as “Kalinga Sagar”.
